Centourax - twenty-foot long centipede

Cities are by far the safest place in my world, thousands of people come together in areas protected from the cold, undead and other threats. One of the side benefits is that there are lots of places where beasts can thrive - underneath the city is a very common one, and that's where the Centipede Maurax, or Centourax reside.

These are very long centipedes, (though classified as medium sized creatures) they usually find a place with water and start building tunnel complexes. If they grow large enough, the tunnels can be large enough for small, medium or sometimes even large creatures to walk thru them.

Twenty-foot long centipede, 50 plus small legs, around one foot tall and wide with eight inch maxilla (mouth tentacles), small but very sharp mandibles with black outer shell with yellow squares throughout it's skin.

They work in groups towards a common goal, most times they have no obvious leader just a shared consciousness that co-ordinates activity. They prefer eating meat as it helps them grow, but they can survive on grubs and mushrooms if it's easier to obtain.
