Omnimatercimex harpeforceps ("scimitar-tongs mother-of-all-bugs") were known as the mother of all bugs, measuring 30-35 inches in length (76.2-88.9 centimeters).
Facts[]
They are the largest of the tree-dwelling centipedes, and preyed on the young and defenseless, unguarded bird or dinosaur babies. A single dinosaur chick could feed the centipede for weeks.
Having made a kill, the centipede would eat its way into the carcass, scenting it with a pungent repellant to ward off scavengers and allowing it to consume its prize in peace from inside out.
Trivia[]
- Like all animals from Skull Island. It is unknown what they faced during the sinking of the island. Given the multiple expeditions, there may be a chance that a few surviving populations was saved off-land to a more stable enclosure.
