Moruga Scorpion Satan Strain
This C. chinense cultivar. Ripens to red, habanero-type pods, with tail. Clocks in at 500,000–1,200,000 SHU — extremely hot, in superhot territory. Roots trace to Trinidad & Tobago. The scorpion tail trait is one of the most distinctive features in the superhot pepper world. Parentage: Landrace from Moruga, Trinidad. Believed to be a selection from 7-Pot × Congo Pepper cross by Nigel & Russell Rooplal (ca. 2010). Satan Strain is a named extreme-heat selection of the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, not a color variant. Ripens red; up to 2.2M SHU.
