Megapede

Megapedes were gigantic, centipede-like creatures that could be found in deserts and other sandy environments.

Description
They had extremely long, segmented bodies that were covered in coarse, bristly hairs. Hundreds of pairs of legs extended from either sides of the body.

The head of each megapede features enormous, powerful mandibles.

Abilities
Megapedes possessed tremorsense, which allowed them to detect anything else underground within a range of.

Combat
A megapede buried itself beneath the surface of sand, or within rocky caverns, waiting to strike out against any unawares creature that would become its next meal.

While the poisonous bite of a megapede could be quite lethal, its most potent weapon was the psychic bomb it employed. Each megapade exuded an aura of necrotic energy that drained the life of nearby creatures, and made them susceptible to a unique psychic attack that would incapacitate them.

History
The mercane Vocath was known to employ a megapede named Queen Gorma in the arena of his personal domain in wildspace.
