Giant Centipede Venom (poison)

A target that takes piercing damage from the centipede's mandibles Strike must succeed at a DC 14 fortitude save or take 1d6 poison damage.


Centipedes are relatively common arthropods that live, hunt, and scavenge amid dung and detritus. Scurrying about with surprising speed on the scores of legs attached to their long, segmented bodies, centipedes strike with poisoned mandibles.

Most giant centipedes (known as sewer centipedes when found in cities) nest in small groups but hunt alone. Attempts to domesticate giant centipedes for use as guardians or pets generally end poorly, but some goblin and kobold societies have developed effective methods of utilizing these vermin as guardians. Some societies roast and eat centipedes, often with pungent peppers, as a savory delicacy. Care must be taken in preparing the meal, though, to avoid contaminating the flesh with the creature's venom.
