Ictuspede

Ictuspedes are an arthropod species known for their perilous set of mandibles and potent venom. They are solitary predators that prefer to ambush their prey via tunneling.

Appearance
Ictuspedes have long, segmented bodies that range anywhere from 10 to 25 feet long. Their heads are flat, adorned with a multinational set of mandibles that rotate around their magma-oozing maxillae in a circular pattern. Ictuspedes possess a variable number of ocelli, only being able to discern between light and dark; however, in times of jeopardy some Ictuspedes are capable of morphing their ocelli into true compound eyes to better adjudge their surroundings. They bear two pairs of antenna - one in the front margin, and one at the rear.

Behind the head, the body consists of 15 or more segments. Most of the segments bear a single pair of legs, with the maxillipeds projecting forward from the first body segment, and the final two segments being small and legless. Ictuspedes have a varying amount of legs depending on their size and genetics, ranging from 30-354. Each pair of legs is slightly longer than the pair immediately in front of it, ensuring that they do not overlap, so reducing the chance that they will collide with each other while moving swiftly. The final segment bears a telson and includes the openings of the reproductive organs.
