The Scorpion line is a paint scheme.  They've got a cute Hogue scorpion/snake looking grip and a tan sprayed on coating.  Basically, the same gun they sell normally.  You can get the "Scorpion" look on several models.  It's a gimmick, nothing more with some better bits maybe...short reset trigger on the P series guns.

On a side note, they did release a P938 to supplement the anemic .380, P238.  The P938 is a 9mm version of the "Colt Mustang" knockoff they released last year.

Edit...a scorpion is technically an arachnid or of the spider genus...
