- When Scolex's head pops out, he will shoot multiple blood shots of various sizes, similar to Monstro.
- When Scolex's tail pops out, he will fire three Red
Ipecac shots at the player.

Notes[edit | edit source]

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Scolex appeared in the original The Binding of Isaac.
- Scolex can be considered an older or younger version of Pin, but not a posthumous one (that title goes to The Frail).
- A scolex is the name of the head of a tapeworm.
- Compared to the original Binding of Isaac, Scolex's head and tail attacks are swapped.
- Scolex bears some resemblance to a mythological Mongolian Death Worm, which are described as long, scaly, and blood red. It also raises half its body out of the sand and covers its prey with a lethal acidic substance, which is somewhat similar to Scolex's head attack.
