This massive, segmented predator is captured in a menacing rearing pose, ready to strike with its powerful mandibles and lethal tail pincer. Featuring highly detailed cracked chitinous plating and a formidable quad-horned head, it serves as an imposing Huge-sized encounter for any subterranean tabletop adventure. Perfect for representing legendary vermin or eldritch arthropods in your next campaign.
A giant centipede rears up from the shadows of a tunnel, clicking its mandibles as it prepares to strike an intruder.
