Description
Also called whip scorpions, or vinegaroons, giant uropygids are large scorpion-like arachnids found in damp and dark places such as jungles, forests and the underdark. More arid environments are avoided. Around 8 feet long, giant uropygids have tan to dark brown bodies with eight legs, the frontmost pair of which are used as feelers and the rear six used for locomotion. They are equipped with a pair of large spiny pedipalps, strong jaws and a thin whip-like tail. The uropygid shoots an acrid irritant liquid from a gland in its abdomen; this can be aimed at opponents in front of it.
Giant uropygids can burrow in earth or soft rock. Females do so to create a hollow and seal themselves within before laying a clutch of 5d6+10 eggs.
(Uropygids first appeared as Giant Pedipalps (Uropygi) in Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits (1980) by Gary Gygax and David C. Sutherland III, the original author was Sutherland)
