The Lame Scorpion
--
something happened to his rear... lost a leg, and another became an arrow... but he does not let that bother him while posing for a sudoku...
Had to add some disambugation via coloring... so:
- normal sudoku rules apply
- Palindromes: red lines are palindromes (reads the same in both directions
- Knights move: same digit can't repeat a knight's move apart
- Between lines (most of the legs): digits on the purple-ish gray lines must each be values between the digits held in the end circles of those lines
- Arrows (1 leg, the claws and the stinger): numbers on the arrows sum to the value in the circle at the start (box 7 has a 3 long arrow, circle being in R7C4)

Nice puzzle, thank you for setting. It looked a little bit overcrowded in the beginning, but once I started solving it was fun & with a fluent logic.
