Trivia

 * The Scoliac's name may be derived Scoliosis, a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side.
 * 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
