Giant Centipede

Giant centipedes are arthropods with long, segmented bodies, numerous legs, and powerful jaws armed with powerful poison. Centipede coloration is often varied, some bearing dull colors and others coming in brighter shades.   Most giant centipedes (known as sewer centipedes when found in cities) nest in small groups but hunt alone when they seek out food. Attempts to domesticate giant centipedes for use as guardians or pets generally end poorly, but some tribes of goblins, kobolds, and mitflits have developed effective methods of utilizing these vermin as guardians. Other tribes and some humanoid societies roast and eat centipedes, often with pungent peppers as a savory delicacy, although care must be taken in preparing the meal to avoid tainting the flesh with the creature’s venom.
