The reading of it is a bit odd for me. It says

Roll a dice each time a Tomb Scorpion suffers a wound or a mortal wound caused by a spell.

. Does this mean it rolls a dice for each wound caused by a spell and mortal wound caused by a spell or for any wounds caused as well as mortal wounds caused by a spell?

RAW could be either, but I'd put money in RAI being only wounds caused by spells.
If the intent was *all* wounds and spell-based mortal wounds, I think the wording would actually be clearer to explain the difference.

Yes, a few so far. Can't remember which one right now, but I know there is a warscroll that lists its spell the same way other scrolls list their missile weapon. At work right now so can't dig it up.

EDIT: Found it, was thinking about Malagor from the Beastmen list.

I would interpret it as a wound/mortal wound caused by a spell
