COMBAT TACTICS
Giant centipedes nest in areas with good cover (leaves, rubble, garbage), and can be found almost anywhere.
They rely on their high speed and maneuverability to keep their prey off-balance, and prefer charge attacks. Their climb speed allows them to ignore 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.
