HNoMS Skorpionen was the lead ship of her class of three monitors built for the Royal Norwegian Navy in the 1860.

The slightly later Thor can be seen as an improved Skorpionen-class monitor.

Skorpionen was armed with two heavy rifled muzzle-loaders in a revolving turret.

She had five inches of iron armour on her deck, and her turret was protected by twelve inches of iron armour.
