Ecology: Scorpio-pedes are the most common and numerous form of neopede (new centipede) found on Skull Island. Algae eaters, they can be found where ever there's sufficient water to support large growths of algae and water weeds. Scorpio-pedes start life as free-swimming predatory larvae, eventually molting into the amphibious multi-legged crawling form.
Personality/Motivation: Normal animal motivations. Scorpio-pedes are notably territorial, and will quickly assume a defensive posture (tail raised) if they detect an intruder into their grazing area.
Powers/Tactics: As algae eaters, Scorpio-pedes don't have claws or teeth large enough to use as defensive weapons. Instead, they have large hollow spines on the tip of their tails. Capable of penetrating even thick dinosaur hides, these prongs are used to inject a fast-acting poison. While this poison will only render a large dinosaur mildly sick, it will quickly kill most birds, small reptiles, and arboreal mammals.
Appearance: A Scorpio-pede appears centipedes with two large scraping legs near the head, five pairs of walking legs, and a flattened tail equipped with two sharp prongs. Coloration is a rusty reddish-brown.
Designer's Notes: The Scorpio-pede is based off of the Scorpion character sheet found in the HERO System Bestiary, and scaled up to the right size. It didn't appear in King Kong.
