Scorpion ASCII art is popular in astrology communities during Scorpio season (October through November), desert and arachnid enthusiast Discord servers, and fighting game communities where scorpion characters are iconic. The curved stinger tail raised above the body is the most identifiable feature. Medium gives the tail its proper arc. For a quick astrology post or a desert-themed message, small still reads as a scorpion.
