Trivia

 * The Scoliac is tied with the Ankyros Prime, Amphis, and Tipedo for highest attack speed of all melee weapons.
 * The Scoliac's name may be derived from Scoliosis (derived from Ancient Greek σκολίωσις skoliosis “obliquity, bending”), a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved unnaturally.
 * The Scoliac was the first whip revealed, shown in Livestream 14. However it was introduced after the Lecta.
 * When the Infested lab was revamped the Scoliac's model could be seen in a container, along with the Embolist, shortly before the Scoliac was actually added into the game.
 * This is the second whip to be added to the game (following the Lecta), and the third research melee weapon available (following the Prova and the Dual Ichor).
