Description
This monster resembles a large centipede with long, jointed legs with claws at the end of every one, used to crawl up walls and across ceilings and to grab prey. Its head has very large eyes, able to see in the dark. At the bottom of its head, there are two curved fangs which do inject venom, although it isn't very strong. Also on the bottom of the head is a gland that shoots a sticky fluid that adheres to anything that touches it. It typically scuttles across cave ceilings in search of prey. They usually clash with carrion crawlers for food and the fact that both of them crawl across ceilings. Clawed Crawlers tend to attack most things, and sometimes form groups with other clawed crawlers to help catch prey. They have enough intelligence to set ambushes, and some train these creatures to be mounts.
