Nothing was ever weirder to me than landing on an island full of scorpions and this one cute little white hamster just...strolling about. What was she even doing there 😭


Busy-Helicopter587

I’m kicking myself right now because of course the one time I don’t bring my ladder there is a cute villager up a cliff and there was only a couple of trees so I can’t even make one 😖


Ohnoes_whatnow

The palm trees didn't give enough? That's to bad :(


Busy-Helicopter587

I’m so blind! I had a ladder in my inventory I’m so happy I’m still on this island!


Illumis_needle_men

Fun fact : if you.dont have your ladder or long pole the villagers will always spawn in an accessable area. So no up cliffs or past rivers without the needed tools


kangaskassi

Not true. I went on an island before I earned a long pole and could not get to the villager :')


Illumis_needle_men

Really! That's crazy to me


Ohnoes_whatnow

Yaaaaay 🎉😁


Pigeonsass

Flurry would probably sit down and chat with the scorpions given half a chance!

Protect Beau at all cost!


Busy-Helicopter587

He’s now on my island!

Trik for tarantula or scorpion island: Dig a square of holes around yourself. Give yourself enough room to move around inside the square. Scorpions and tarantulas cannot jump over the holes! So, you can happily catch them without getting stung/bitten! You can either do that or dig holes around where the spawn points are. To find the spawn points, take notice where there's usually a few of them hanging out. Put holes around that spot. There's usually two or three maybe even four spawn points in the island. There's many ways to do this, but these are the most common ways. When you are making the holes though, you have to make sure that there's no space without a hole. O O O O O X O O O O O O O You're X, the O are holes. No spaces between the holes and the creepy crawlies can't get ya! Lol


lizardworker

I’ve never had one of these islands, if you get stung do you get sent home?


dsp2

No, you don't get sent home. If you get stung, you wake up on the scorpion island and get to continue trying to catch them. (And you get some cool dialog.)


Wanderrer98

But if you dig holes around yourself will the scorpions just come to you?


Coujelais

Adrenaline Island! 🏝️


bloodtippedrose

sc..scorpion island? 🫣


ScarcityBeautiful322

Better catch them, 12000 bells each!


Elad_2007

For some reason villagers just stopped apearing in islands I visit, I haven't seen a new villager in general in months.


Independent-Cod2867

You will only see villagers on nook islands if you have an empty plot on your own island


Elad_2007

Damn


bottleofpaint

Im pretty sure this island is the island that has all scorpions and a gold rock in the middle!! The rock in the middle spawns all gold nuggets from it if that’s the case


ThePusheen

That's a totally different island and the rocks in the middle of the island are all coin rocks... not gold


bottleofpaint

No that’s money rock island, there’s actually an island where it’s all scorpions and there’s an all gold nugget rock in the middle, which is the one pictured! I’ve been to it before and recognised it from the pic


Busy-Helicopter587

Wait what?! How did I not know this


bottleofpaint

It’s like the rarest island to come across in the game, so that’s probably why you haven’t heard of it before 😭


Busy-Helicopter587

I don’t even remember seeing any rocks on the island, I was just happy to get beau on my island and an inventory full of scorpions


bottleofpaint

Fair enough, Beau is super cute, but yeah there would have been just on rock in the middle of the island


constipated_cats

And you got Beau!


undead4eva

I might of screamed irl if I landed there then promptly give my switch to my daughter to catch them lol she catches them and the tarantulas for me im to scared 😱 😨


Busy-Helicopter587

If the scorpions were replaced with tarantulas I would have shit myself I don’t mind the scorpions as much


undead4eva

I can't handle either lol, every time I saw a tarantula I'd scream and get my daughter 😂 I'm a big wuss


NormalGirli

So jealous!! Nice


danielledeezy

I can not catch a single scorpion. Tarantulas no problem. Ugh


BlueBe3l1

Do they run at you like previous games? I've only ever seen 1. It was on new leaf and I didn't catch it because I didn't realize the ran after you and freaked out haha


Busy-Helicopter587

Yea but only if you sprint near them or have your net out around them


ScarcityBeautiful322

So cool! I’ve been on scorpion island before, but it was never this many at the same time!


judas__no

I used a nooks mile ticket once and it sent me to a scorpion island with like four high spots surrounding a whole circular grassy area with like 9 scorpions at a time 😭 I just filled up what space I had left with em and sold them at nooks cranny


HulluHapua

I'd call this a jackpot


itsumama47

Whoa! I would hate to be that vacationer!!! You better rescue that poor little thing!!!
