Description
The carrion crawler was one of the earliest creatures introduced in the D&D game. In all editions of the game, carrion crawlers are said to live underground, but will sometimes go to the surface for food. They are akin in appearance to a 3-to-4-foot-long (0.91 to 1.2 m) centipede. The other striking aspect of a carrion crawler is that is possesses eight long tentacles protruding from the sides of its head, which allow it to stun its prey. As its name might suggest, it eats carrion, but it is known to kill live prey. Carrion crawlers are of neutral alignment.
