The Greater Protaciania, Protacio's Bug, or Airplane Sea-scorpion (Protaciania protacioi) is the fictional species of terrestrial eurypterid introduced in Historya Davvun and Thalath Lakoduna and later in the Worldcraft rebooted series as part of Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure.

The Protacio's bug's body is broadly divided into two parts: the prosoma and the opisthosoma (which are in turn divided into the mesosoma and the metasoma). The prosoma is the forward part of the body; it is actually composed of six segments fused together to form the head and the thorax. It contains a semicircular to subrectangular platelike carapace and is hollowed into a thin shell, which is suitable for balance gliding. On the dorsal side of the latter are two large, crescent-shaped compound eyes.
They also possessed two big, light-sensitive simple eyes (the median ocelli) at the head of the carapace. The Protacio’s bug had two pairs of legs that served as walking, while the rear of three pairs of flippers are modified to be broader and wider than their ancestors, and their color is golden brown. The main abdomen and segments of the color scheme are horizontal, daffodil-colored lines from head to stinger.
They were able to partially fly and primarily glide to a safe landing by converting their three pairs of legs into lighter paddles. Although it was given the name "Airplane Scorpion," it isn't a true scorpion. Similar to horseshoe crabs, this stinger may actually inflict meningitis and diarrhea on its target, which is no laughing matter.

This foe was small and painful, but rarely life-threatening. Young children and older adults are most at risk of serious complications from Protacio's bug. During the rainy season or sandstorm, their skin serves as camouflage and they hide in soil, sand, or mud if the predator is nearby, digging themselves into nothing. This group of animals is also known as flight, or passenger.
The Greater Protaciania can be found in desert and scrubland habitats ranging from North Africa through the Middle East, Greece, and Turkey. Its range covers a wide sweep of territory in a special biome and nearby habitats and borders. The Natural Airbase biome, which resembles an abandoned airfield with few shrubs and a dry lake, is where these sea scorpions grew after emerging from the water. This is because it was harvested by the Templar Order and the Assassin Order, which is why this species was endangered in the 1990s.

Alternatively, survivors must steal Greater Protaciania's egg in order to tame it. When these eggs hatch, the sea scorpion hatchlings must be fed any type of dry leaves or carcasses, which can be gotten from a variety of sources.
