Trivia
Its model was added in the renewed Infested lab.
 * 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 from side to side, or the Latin name for a type of centipede, scolopendra gigantea.
 * The Scoliac was the first whip revealed, shown in Livestream 14.
 * 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).
 * As with the Lecta, the Scoliac trails fully extended behind the player when sheathed.
 * Amusingly enough, with the right colors it is possible to make the blade resemble a Christmas tree
 * Confusingly, the in-game description states the Scoliac inflicts "Heart stopping toxin damage" on charge attacks, when however it deals corrosive.
