Ecology: The largest example of neopede to be found on Skull Island, Hydruscimex is an aquatic predator, found all through Skull Island's waterways. Growing to great size, it is fairly fearless and will eager devour anything smaller or weaker than itself.
Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: As with many of the water dwellers, Hydruscimex prefers to strike from ambush, often lurking near the bottom and coming up on its prey from below. It will deliver a quick venomous bite, then break away and let the poison take effect. Interestingly, Hydruscimex's venom is fairly weak, but delivered in such great quantities as to prove lethal to even small dinosaurs.
Appearance: A Hydruscimex can measure anywhere from nine to twelve feet in length when fully grown. It has a horizontally flattened body lined with multi-jointed legs and a broad tailed used for propulsion. Coloration is uniformly dark.
Designer's Notes: Hydruscimex is what World of Kong calls a "neopede," apparently a new kind of centipede native only to Skull Island. I built is using the Eel character sheet in found in the HERO System Bestiary. It didn't appear in King Kong.
