Monstrous Wooly Centipede

Centipedes come in many varieties, but the monstrous woolly centipede is quite distinct, due to its coat of black, spiky fur covering its chitinous body. As with all centipedes, it is quite fast, can cling to walls and ceilings without trouble, and has a poisonous bite that dissolves flesh.

Monstrous woolly centipedes are found in nearly any habitat, and despite their fur, seem largely unaffected by warmer climates. Unlike their less hirsute cousins, however, monstrous woolly centipedes can thrive in colder climates as well.

Combat Tactics

Centipedes rely on their high speed and maneuverability to keep their prey off-balance. They are above-average ambush predators, sometimes dropping from tree canopies onto unsuspecting victims below. Their climb speed allows them to easily navigate around rough terrain and attack from unexpected angles. While they are very, very dumb, their hunting instincts are sharp enough to use their speed to their best advantage.

When they encounter multiple foes, they will try to spread their bite attacks around to keep every target poisoned, in hopes at least one will die and become a tasty meal.
Monstrous woolly centipedes also have a ranged attack, which they will use if they are unable to charge their prey for some reason.
Centipedes will rarely flee from battle, unless they are given plenty of time to realize that they are outmatched.

Out of Combat

Monstrous woolly centipedes can be found in nearly any climate, hot or cold, arid or wet. They thrive in areas with lots of ground clutter, but can manage in the hollows of rotted trees, or even burrowing into the dirt. They eat anything they can fit in their mouths that is organic enough to be dissolved by their acidic poison.
