A giant scorpion is a large sized beast, meaning you could ride it. That is, it could be ridden assuming the rider does not get stung to death...
What if you wanted something larger? Say huge to gigantic, similar to the things in Clash of the Titans remake. I mean, its easy enough to scale up with more hit dice and more hit points. You could even use a wyvern as a base - take away the fly speed and bite attack and add an extra claw attack.
But what about the poison? Sure, you could make the poison stronger, since the creature is bigger, but is that plausible? A bigger creature should have less need of poison.
The giant scorpion in the Monster Manual has poison that does 4d10 poison damage on a failed DC 12 Constitution Save & is a CR 3 creature. A wyvern has poison that does 7d6 poison on a failed DC 15 Constitution Save & is CR 6, so they can both do similar amounts of damage with their poison.
Thoughts? How would you make a large creature even larger, specifically when special abilities are involved?
