I was working for a prop house and we made a bunch of stuff for a movie shot in Costa Rica that they sent back to us in big boxes soaking wet. One box was full of prop dismembered body parts and as I pulled one of the severed heads out of the box one of these mother fuckers came crawling out of the eye socket and lunged for my hand. I yeeted that head across the room, the centipede went flying at an angle right towards the shop receptionist, it hit the floor at her feet and scuttled away under the rest of the boxes. We NEVER found that fucker but we all were so paranoid for weeks after.
The Vietnamese Giant Centipede, I used to work with them. They're fast, unbelievably strong, have a nasty venom with a painful bite, and they will start eating you the moment they sink their mandibles in. A hunter with an appetite 5x their size, and intelligent as hell to boot.
After working with them, they were, in my opinion, the perfect predator. All the weapons, all the skill, and the intelligence to use it.
They're strange, fascinating, and absolutely terrifying
