Pretty much everything about a volcano is deadly, but especially the ash, dust, and smoke that can suffocate you, and the extreme heat. I'm not saying that the lava itself isn't deadly, but there are other things about a volcano that can kill you. My advice: stay away from them!
Volcanoes high in silica tend to erupt explosively due to the thick, viscous magma that traps gas and pressure. This can lead to pyroclastic flows, ash clouds, and volcanic projectiles being ejected at high speeds. The eruptions are usually more violent and can pose significant hazards to nearby areas.
On average, taller volcanoes tend to have more explosive eruptions because they typically contain more viscous magma that traps gases. Shorter volcanoes, like shield volcanoes, usually erupt less explosively with more fluid lava flows. However, the explosivity of a volcano can also depend on other factors such as magma composition and gas content.
If I had to live on a volcano, I would choose Kilauea in Hawaii. Kilauea is a shield volcano known for its relatively gentle eruptions and lava flows, which tend to be less explosive compared to stratovolcanoes like Mt. St. Helens. Its frequent activity also offers the opportunity to witness volcanic processes up close while benefiting from the fertile soil and unique ecosystems created by its eruptions. Additionally, the ongoing monitoring and research at Kilauea provide a better understanding of volcanic hazards, making it a more manageable environment for habitation.
A volcano with felsic magma and high viscosity will likely have explosive eruptions due to the build-up of pressure from gas bubbles being trapped within the thick magma. This can lead to violent eruptions with ash, gas, and volcanic rocks being ejected forcefully from the volcano.

I think they just tend to be more aggressive.
It is unclear what it means to "help" a volcano, but water does tend to make eruptions more explosive.
A hurricane is a kind of tropical cyclone. Though they do tend to be deadlier than tropical cyclones, there are exceptions.

Ebolavirus strains tend to be pretty deadly.

Yes, usually some animals manage to survive. Due to deadly gasses, very few animals tend to live near volcano vents. Many animals also tend to recognize signs that something is wrong before an eruption happens, and they will clear out of the area when it is possible. The ones that stick around until the eruption will run when it all starts to happen. Sometimes, like in the cases of smaller islands, there is just nowhere to go, and the survival rate is lower. In most cases though, many animals are able to get out of the way and survive.
It would be most difficult to deal with an eruption from a composite volcano. Such eruptions tend te be explosive, spreading ash over large areas, and can produce highly destructive lahars and pyroclastic flows.
I believe that the bigger scorpions are larger and also the smaller ones tend to be less big. It is my understanding that scorpions are only deadly in fatal cases. Hope this helps. Alan
