Yay, it's another one of the weird deformed Creator Polybags of 2005.
Seriously, it's a scorpion, but it has no pincers. Why?
... wow.
It looks like someone added a bunch of click hinges to a Tiny Turbos set.
No wait, that's not right - it looks more like someone added some Tiny Turbos pieces to a pile of click hinges.
No pinchers and not enough legs. So, just an odd bug.
That is not a scorpion. It is a beetle with a tail.
Looks like the leftover pieces from a Mixels trio.
^Or perhaps reject clikits colo(u)rs lol.
This doesn't work for me as a set. It doesn't work as parts pack either. Well, maybe if you're fan of them hinges...
Another polybag made out of parts swept up off the factory floor...
To me it seems like a giraffe-cross-ant with a neck problem. They nailed it in that sense!
An attempt was made
In the name of Kane!
This is a scary scorpion not because it's realistic, but because it's too scary to be a LEGO set!

I did grow up with click hinges. They were the main articulating element in just about every LEGO set of that era. Honestly, they're underrated; the only drawback is their step-based range, but that doesn't make them mostly unusable by any stretch.
Well, it sort of looks like a crane...

It looks like a crane made from rejected clickits parts.
What a great lobster.
If you need click hinges, this is a set to get--if you're in 2005 and still have dial-up like I did (regular cable-based internet wasn't offered in my area until a year or two later; and we still don't get fiber-optic where I live, but the town does). Else, go to Bricks and Pieces or Bricklink. Especially in 2020.
How did it lose two of its legs?
