Why don't you use centipedes in your games? They're way better than insects, who are completely overdone.
>>47612839
Better than ants or spiders, sure, but not giant mantises.
>>47612858
Mantises are way too boring and passive. Centipedes are true survivalists, that will never go extinct.
>>47612839
I've used giant centipedes in my game.
Also, I'm considering buying a vietnamese giant centipede (the one in your pic), the pet store where I buy mice for my python, just got some giant vietnamese centipedes, they're super fucking neat.
>>47612878
What do you feed them?
>>47612839
Wasn't there some crazy thread about centipedes and sealed jars?
Why aren't you running dire bobbit worm hydras, /tg/?
>>47612910
If there was one, I missed it. Sure there were some good caps, though.
>>47612876
If we're judging arthropods based on their ability to not go extinct then we should just use giant cockroaches.
>>47612946
Pretty sure centipedes came first, though.
What about a game where all the fantasy races are replaced with giant insects! Warrior mantises, Tunneling spiders, bees and wasps, stealthy moths.
>>47612964
The idea has been floated around on /tg/. I know there were fly and leech races, alongside the Thri-Keen and moths.
>>47612922
Fuck you and that deep sea thread a few weeks ago
>>47612922
Because I don't actively despise my players, strangely enough.
>>47612839
>Why don't you use centipedes in your games?
I did, once. We made them genetically engineered to produce Tetrodotoxin in their bite. It was a great thing, they were perfect for assassinations.
>>47612900
Not that guy, but you feed them the souls of the damned, and quite possibly crickets.
>>47613129
So these?
Good old monstrous spiders for me. They sneak around the party, lay ambushes, spin webs and hide in smart places
>>47612839
Decapedes, gigapedes and micropedes are better for fantasy games than regular centipedes.
>>47613205
Those aren't real.
>>47612900
Unruly players.
>>47612958
Horseshoe crabs, then.
NIMBLE NAVIGATOR
>>47612900
you feed them crickets or mice. That's the cheapest. But they'll eat baby birds, small lizards and frogs, anything that's about their size that can't kill them first.
The pet store suggests crickets.
>>47613154
Yeah, that's what we were going for. We also used smaller ones to help us kidnap people easier, their venom was very weak compared to the mush larger ones.
>>47612839
I do. They're essentially chinese red-headed centipedes and have a pension for entering peoples ears. Obviously some burrowing is needed to make adequate space. Also obviously they're often used by torturers.
>>47612839
centipedes aren't insects?
>>47612839
I've got centipede centaur people, who are horrible and extremely dangerous. They use giant centipedes a lot themselves - as pets, hunting animals, throwing weapons, etc.
>>47613764
I said better than insects. More legs=better
>>47613784
Human upper torso?
>>47613764
Do you count 6 legs and a 3 part body?
>>47612839
What about slugs?
>>47613825
They're slow. How have they not been wiped out?
>>47613803
Millipedes can have up to 750 legs, centipedes need to git gud.
>>47613818
The body terminates in a humanoid torso, head and limbs yeah. But they have a second mouth and centipede jaws below the join too.
>>47613873
Millipedes are cowards that curl up in a ball and eat decaying plant matter. Barely better than a pillbug
>>47613527
>mice
How big are these things?
>>47613825
Slow and contemplative, the giant slug and snail civilizations of yore were wiped out and reduced to barbarism. They are pressed into service as baggage animals these days. There are traveling merchants who make their homes in the shells of a giant snail. Some egg-laying creatures lay their brood inside living giant slugs.
>>47613886
>>47613850
Their preferred habitat is aquatic or marine, where they're a lot faster and able to drop an adult human like an elk by reusing venomous stingers they acquire from devouring jellyfish.
>>47613932
Aww, he's kissing it
>>47613935
Can they compete with the cone snails, though?
>>47612839
I use centipedes. Especially giant centipedes. and other giant bugs, because they are a core part of my setting.
>>47613941
>m-mouse, senpai~
>kyaaah
>>47613257
And?
>>47613978
Creepy as fuck. Still kinda cute.
>>47612946
>>47612958
>>47613339
Nah.
>>47614583
Waterbears are so cute.
I keep one as a pet in the real life.
>>47613764
>>47613824
>>47612839
>they're better than insects!
They're still just arthropods.
If you faggots wanted something scary you'd be looking at the prehistoric ones that lived in the ocean.
>>47614967
No one gives a fuck about those. Centipedes are "real" and most people have seen one in real-life. That makes using them more impactful than some prehistoric shit you'd need to pull out a book and explain.
It's something you can immediately visualize and make a connection to.
>>47613850
Because they breed en masse and taste horrible to most predators. And they also tend to stay in dark areas away from dangerous sunlight, and with their gray and black bodies tend to blend in with the underbrush
>>47613935
And no slugs preferred habitat is the Pacific Northwest. On land. Where their body won't almost immediately disintegrate into the water. Snails on the other hand do better in water then land. Shells are heavy m8
>>47612858
New Vegas did it.
>>47612922
YOU RANG?
