Description

The corpse centipede is a grotesque monster that resembles a giant centipede. It has a thick, armored exoskeleton that is the color of decaying flesh. The creature's many legs end in sharp claws that allow it to climb up walls and corpses with ease. The corpse centipede's head is dominated by two large, fang-filled mandibles, which it uses to bite its prey. Its tail is covered in a layer of poisonous spines, which it can use to paralyze its enemies. Despite its intimidating appearance, the corpse centipede is a surprisingly stealthy creature, able to blend in with the corpses it inhabits until it strikes.
