A veritable astro zoo - a prawn, a wolf and a scorpion.
RCW113 or Gum 55 is an area in Scorpius that contains the Prawn Nebula and the Wolfhead nebula - Gum notes that this region is "A large roughly semicircular loop, whose ragged appearance is due in part to overlying obscuration. At its centre is the galactic cluster NGC 6231, which is the nucleus of an O-Association".
