Eruca (Scolopendra worgossa)
These large arthropods with slender and nimble bodies have adapted well to their habitats in the east forests of Worgos and warmer parts of Votny Forest, allowing them to move stealthily through the lush greenery of their environment. Eruca are known to inhabit deep forest caves and rocky areas, where they patiently wait for potential prey until an opportunity arises. When the moment is right, they swiftly pounce on their target, surrounding it before delivering a painful bite.
Their bites cause excruciating pain, with those unfortunate enough to experience it, often describing it as akin to red-hot metal being thrust into their body. But while eruca bites are intensely painful, they typically become deadly only when encountered in large numbers.
Appearance: These creatures are approximately 12 feet (4 meters) in length and are equipped with numerous limbs that allow them to cling to almost any surface. Their bodies consist of around 25 segments, each featuring two legs and a protective chitinous armor on the top, except for the first and last segments. The front module of their body is equipped with pinchers and venomous fangs that they use for hunting, while the back part features two elongated antennae. Their heads are adorned with 5 to 9 sharp teeth and are scattered with 7 eyes, all surrounding a small mouth opening.

Skills: Stealth +3, Perception +2, Resistance +3
Abilities:
- Venomous – Eruca bite is poisonous. After dealing damage, the target has to roll for Decay resistance on the difficulty of 7 and if they fail they receive additional D6 damage, ignoring armor.
- Capture – The creature lunges at its target, attempting to immobilize it. If it successfully lands the attack, it gains a +3 bonus to its Athletics check against the target. Should the targeted creature fail its Athletics check, it becomes pinned to the ground. While holding a target, the capturing creature is considered immobile but can still make regular attacks against other foes.
