Megapede Dereponecis
Megapede Dereponecis (meaning "creeping-death giant-feet"), are 3-5 feet long (0.9-1.5 meters) species of Megapede.
Facts[]
Megapede dereponecis were the largest terrestrial centipede/myriapod species to have ever lived since Arthropleura, although Hydruscimex was larger overall. Because of this, they were too heavy to climb trees, and thus they hunted in their roots for hatchling dinosaurs which they immobilized with their venom.
Females chewed tunnels into rotting logs and laid their eggs inside them. They then grew extremely territorial of the log and attacked anything that may have threatened their young.
Like all megapedes, M. dereponecis was stockier and heavier than the more slender Idolon genus. However, whilst their jaw strength was formidable, their venom contents is predictably more muted than the Idolon genus.
