Monstrous centipedes tend to attack anything that resembles food, biting with their jaws and injecting their poison.
A monstrous centipede has a poisonous bite. The details vary by the centipede’s size, as shown on the table. The save DCs are Constitution-based. The indicated damage is both initial and secondary damage.
Skills
Monstrous centipedes have a +4 racial bonus on Spot checks, and a +8 racial bonus on Climb and Hide checks. They can use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. Monstrous centipedes can take 10 on Climb checks, even if threatened or distracted.
Fiendish Monstrous Centipede
These fiendish creatures are commonly summoned by a summon monster I (medium), summon monster II (large), summon monster III (huge), summon monster VI (gargantuan), or summon monster VIII (colossal) spell.
A huge, gargantuan, or colossal fiendish monstrous centipede's natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Combat
Smite Good (Su)
Once per day a fiendish monstrous centipede can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage against a good foe.
