So, a Tarrasque, which is as big as a Monstrous Centipede, has sharper Teeth than a Monstrous Centipede. Unfathomable.A Monstrous Centipede can poison you.  A Tarrasque, which is as big as a Monstrous Centipede, can grab you without AoO and swallow you for 2d8+8 points of crushing damage plus 2d8+6 points of acid damage per round from the tarrasque’s digestive juices. Ok, take a look at the room you're in. Place a Monstrous Centipede in the corner of the room, and then imagine it grabbing you and putting it in its mouth from as far as 20 feet. Just imagine that. I presume such an action would be impossible, since a centipedes hands lack opposible thumbs for gripping. A Tarrasque has an initiative of +7.A Monstrous Centipede has an initiative of +1 - you know, despite being a faster runner and climber than just about anything in the world.As you were.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
