I ordered a cave claws scorpion that arrived today. Unfortunately it has a missing leg/foot?

I’ll attach an image.
Now I’m worried if he/she is okay. Also some people say when they next moly it grows back and other people say it won’t. So which one is true.

If it's mature it won't molt and thus won't grow back.

I'm not sure where you got it from (though I have suspicions) but that's pretty crummy shipping.

He looks to be mature but it’s hard to tell I’ve never had a Viatoris before

By the way what were your suspicions? 😶

Can't discuss that on the public boards. But it's irrelevant. As long as it can move around okay it should be fine. With several inches of moist substrate it will burrow and settle in.
