I use the following text to sort it out, notably the part about successive rounds. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature’s descriptive text). But if the DM really wants to apply the constrict damageto the grapple checks the scoprpion opposes, like say with the victim tries to break grapple, he can't be faulted based on the wording.</blockquote>
