Humanpede

Humanpedes are one of the 9 enemies encountered in chapter 1 of Blood West. Humanpedes are relatively common and can be found in most monster-infested areas. They fight primarily with ranged attacks via their acid volleys. 
The note describing Humanpedes can be found here.
== Appearance ==
Like many of the monsters in the Barren Lands, Humanpedes are the result of human corpses being reanimated and twisted by unknown dark magic. While the monster's legs remain mostly human-like, the torso has been grotesquely elongated, with numerous insect-like legs protruding from its sides. The chest has been split down the middle, revealing the shattered ribcage and organs of the creature. The head is comprised of a large skull with translucent flesh, and a jawless maw with numerous fangs and insectile mandibles protruding from it. The creature does possess eyes, though they are small and sunken into the eye sockets of the skull. The monster orally ejects a green highly acidic substance. 
== Behavior ==
Humanpedes will patrol the ruins of buildings and mineshafts, much like many of the other monsters in the Barren Lands. They can be heard making choking and gagging sounds, likely due to the buildup of acid in the body. Due to their affinity for darkness, they can also be found in cave/tunnel systems deep underground, where they truly thrive. Upon spotting prey, Humanpedes will attempt to put distance between themselves and their quarry. After achieving a vantage point, the Humanpede will launch volleys of acid from their mouths at their targets. They will continue to flee with their target gets too close, repeating the process. 
== Loot ==
On this enemy, you can randomly find the following items as loot:
* Acid Gland
== Trivia ==
* It spits acid. If the projectile misses the player it will leave a acid puddle on the surface it impacted, causing contact damage if touched
* It will run away if you get to close
* They will lead their shots, so change directions to avoid its acid volley
== Tips ==
* Similar to Birdmen, Humanpedes can be baited to your exact location by ducking behind cover
