yes, all scorpions are. The question should be 'how venemous are they?'

It is generally accepted that emporer scorpions are as venemous as a wasp sting. However, people react in varying ways to venom and may have an allergic reaction to it.

as Fundo mentioned you never know people die from bee stings but its very rare, emp scorps dont tend to be aggressive anyway so as long as your not poking it or being a tit then its unlikely to sting you
