	Through the level editor, the player can place as many instances of Mr Skops in a level as they like, and make him behave in different ways by placing chaser triggers. Skops can thus react to them by turning, jumping, stopping, or by attacking, the latter making him shoot his telescopic pincers in a straight line.

Skops can thus react to them by turning, jumping, stopping, or by attacking, the latter making him shoot his telescopic pincers in a straight line.

	As a chaser, Mr Skops only starts moving once he spots the player, which occurs whenever [[Rayman]] is about six and fourteen tiles away in front of him. Any physical contact with the scorpion will push [[Rayman]] away, even under the effects of the [[Great Protoon\|Invincibility]] power-up.
