Description
Colossal Centipede Grimm
Length: The centipede Grimm can grow to be as long as 1-4 miles.
Height: Typically taller than a skyscraper. The height tends to vary depending on the length.
Width: The width is about 1/8th as wide compared to how long it is.
or anywhere from 1/8th to 1/16th varying from individual to individual Grimm.
Description: The Colossal Centipede is an incredibly huge Grimm sometimes stretching miles and standing taller than most skyscrapers. It contains a head and a certain number of sections, each with an incredibly sharp leg attached to it. At the end of the centipede are two tail-like feeler antennas that make a second search for food that the head antennas must have missed.
On the head: the top of its head is armored and it has four holes on its side to allow it to see. It has two antenna feelers, which it uses to feel out prey. It has two large mandibles, which are used to scrape up food and two smaller mandibles to put the scraped up food into its mouth. Once food is in its mouth it releases venom to melt its prey and then swallows it. Victims are often more or less “burned” alive by the poison as they go through the Grimm’s digestive system: survival time inside the Grimm can be anywhere from ten minutes to a few hours before the victim finally dies. Although size does play a factor in the digestion time, bigger Centipede Grimm digest food slower while smaller younger Centipede Grimm digest food faster. Victims who had guns available have been known to shoot themselves if they were certain they were about to be eaten by one of these creatures to avoid the pain.
Body: Each section of the Centipede Grimm is in a pattern. Two in a row are usually fully armored and have a pattern. Every third section is armored in the middle but not on the sides. It has incredibly sharp legs that destroy the ground and any buildings as it rushes across fields, cities, and forests. You can see where it has been by the trail it leaves behind as well as the multiple craters it leaves behind from the sharp edges of its legs. It has no armor underneath its body.
Tail: At the end of the Centipede Grimm are two antenna-like feelers that search for food as the Grimm passes each area. This allows the Grimm to turn and go back for something it missed if its front antennas originally missed something.
Behavior: The Colossal Grimm is extremely intelligent. It knows when it can and cannot win a battle. When a threat powerful enough to kill it exists within a kingdom it will understand that fact and stay away. It will rush directly into the center of a kingdom immediately the second it knows it can get away with it without dying.
The bigger a Cent Grimm is, the less likely it is to attack individual people. The Colossal Centipede Grimm tends to only targets areas with incredibly high concentrations of negative energy. So unless a specific individual somehow gives off enough negative emotion to make the Colossal Grimm think he or she is a small village or city, the Colossal Centipede only targets high population targets.
The Colossal Centipede Grimm is very selfish and goal orientated: Once it has made up its mind on a specific target it will not stop for anything. It will rush with frightening speeds toward its target ignoring everything in between itself and its intended destination. It will trample over humans, buildings, forests, and even other Grimm to get to what it wants.
Other facts: Smaller Grimm (smaller than the Centipede at least), especially smarter ones tend to follow the trail that the Colossal Grimm creates because they know that the Colossal most likely destroyed human defenses and they use the opportunity to pick off the weakened humans. The Colossal Centipede will break through walls to get to its target, unintentionally leaving a hole for other Grimm to invade the kingdom it attacked.
Possible Methods of taking it down: Typically 2 or 3 teams of full fledged hunters and huntresses need to work together in order to take one down (although depending on the individual strength of each individual: that number could be higher or lower. A Headmaster class huntsman can probably take one down solo,depending on the individual. The firepower from an Atlas Military Unit can probably take one down assuming they focus a lot of fire on the unarmored sections of its body.
One tactic that works incredibly well against the Colossal Centipede Grimm is this: since its behavior is well known, once the Centipede has decided on a target it will not stop until it has reached its destination and it will travel in a straight line from where it is to its intended target. This allows hunters and military units to map out the creatures intended path. They will place a large mine like explosive(s) in the path of the Colossal and wait for the creature to pass over. They will trigger the explosive and the explosion will explode under the Centipede. Allowing humans to take advantage of the large Grimm's unarmored weak spot since the underbelly of the Grimm has no armor.
