Scythe Crawler

Insects are not usually a common worry aside from a few species on the planet. This creature however takes the proverbial cake when it comes to dominant predators on the list for insect-like creatures. Stretching over 30 feet in length or longer, having each of the hundreds of legs with sharp scythe-like protrusions, and a powerful frame to cut through earth, this stealthy hunter is a massive predator in the lower ends of the forests of the world.
