Name of Species: Centivian
Nicknames: Feathered Centipede
Homelands: Deep, damp, dark magical forests
Preferred Weapon: Legs and constriction
Unique Powers: Poisonous to consume
Likes: Insects, small animals
Description: The Centivian can be anywhere from twelve inches to the extremely rare twenty-six foot creature spotted by hunters. Their feathers are brightly colored, and while they cannot fly, their body is covered in them and act as insulation. The hooks on the end of its feet are used to latch onto victims while they constrict them. Its mandible has two tooth-like appendages that allow it to eat and break apart its food. The Centivian is primarily a solitary hunter, but only under strict circumstances would they swarm, if ever.
Young hatch from eggs and from their birth are forced to fend for themselves, as the parents have already left before the eggs hatch. Any given Centivian can live for an upwards of a hundred years in captivity, and some claim that they can live indefinitely in the wild. This creates the possibility of Centivians that can be older than the forest that they live in. When approached with ample food, they will eat as much as they can before they involuntarily regurgitate it.
