Megalo-centipede

Megalo-centipedes were a very rare species of monstrous centipede related to giant centipedes.
==Description==
On average these insects grew to be around in length, over longer than some giant centipedes.
==Behavior==
Megalo-centipedes were more intelligent and cunning than their smaller cousins.
==Biology==
These creatures had a very virulent, acidic poison that was far more potent than that of smaller centipede species and liable to cause death. Those who managed to overcome it would still suffer acidic burns on their skin.
==History==
In 1368 DR, megalo-centipedes could occasionally be found in the sewers beneath Waterdeep.
==Ecology==
Megalo-centipedes did not cooperate with other members of their kind, living largely solitarily lives.
===Diet===
Megalo-centipedes were a carnivorous species that preyed upon animals as large as deers. They were even known to attack and feast upon humans, goblins, and orcs.
===Habitats===
These creatures were adaptable and could be found in a wide variety of terrains and climates.
Megalo-centipedes were known to inhabit the hills of the Dalelands, Sembia, and Cormyr. As well as the Vast Swamp and Farsea Marshes of Cormyr. They could also be found in the caverns of the Storm Horns and Thunder Peaks, as well as the Midwoods of Cormanthor.
Beyond Faerun, these creatures could very rarely be found in Kara-Tur's temperate forests, as well as its tropical and subtropical mountains. As well in the neighboring Hordelands's central steppe, the Raurin and Quoya Deserts, and the land of Ra-Khati where they infested the ruins of Kuo Meilan.
