I have heard 1 P.imperator and 2 U.yaschenkoi as albino scorpion.
But I don't hear that these have been fixed. Do they died?

yes there are colour morphs on scorpions. albino and others. mark stockmann has some on sale on his websites, but only buthids not imperator. albino scorpions is not pure white like on mammals, its very bright yellowish morph mostly

I wouldn't consider scorpions albino... many species of scorpions are polymorphic and other species can have slightly different color variants from dark rich color to the same color just much duller and faded out

The rare scorpions that are sold as albino are just very light colored morphs.
From what i know real Albinos lack some sort of pigmentation in the skin.
You can find albinism in mammals, plants, reptiles and amphibians but not much in invertebrates.
As far as i know the only invertebrates that can be real albinos are snails.

if you have seen an albino p. imperator it could be that it may have recently molted. They are very light and pale when freshly molted.
