In the Playmobil Scorpion Hunt set, Dario, the inventor and Scorpion Hunter of the Desert People, uses the remains of a shipwreck to build a makeshift workshop in the Sal'ahari Sands desert. Together, the two experiment with scorpion venom. Their goal is to develop poison arrows to use against the skeleton army. The Scorpion Hunter faces off against the enemy with a tamed giant scorpion at his side, causing all attackers to flee. The large scorpion's stinger can be filled with water, which it then ejects as a jet of water when pressed. A saddle that attaches to a large scorpion allows a figure to ride on the scorpion's back. Sponges can be placed at the end of the arrows that can be fired, which can be impregnated with "poison" (water).

The workshop is equipped with many accessories: wind wheel, viewing platform, work table with tools. "Poison" arrows can be fired from the rotating cannon. An awning protects the upper part of the workshop from the sun's rays. You can get to the workshop by stairs or a ladder. The big scorpion has a place in the cave where he can rest after the battle. The scorpion has a movable tail and pincers, and can open the lower part of its pincers.
