Summary:Scorpions, centipedes, and millipedes are miniature armored tanks. They are packed with lethal poisons and encapsulated by armor. Emerging at night, these creatures use their sharp spines to inject terrible poisons, sweat toxic substances to ward off predators and aggressively bluff their way out of danger. They can go for months without eating and drinking, and survive being frozen and unfrozen as well as being immune to radioactivity.
