Name: Crawlipede Gender: Any (Preferably Male) Height: 4'4 Species: Centipede Location: Dark facility lockers, supply closets Appearance: Covered in a pitch-black, shadow-like exoskeleton with a slightly spiked, fuzzy texture around the head and neck, giving them a deceptively soft appearance despite their monstrous nature They have large, glowing crimson eyes featuring a distinct, sharp diamond-shaped shine in the center. They glow in the dark, which usually gives away their position when hiding in lockers. Multiple sharp, vibrant orange-and-red segmented legs sprouting from their back and sides. They possess two sweeping, curved antennae and a pair of small, bright red mandibles flanking their mouth. Crawlipede features a long, prominent, multi-segmented insectoid tail extending from their lower back. The tail matches their vibrant red and orange color scheme but includes distinct, armor-like black patches along the top segments, ending in sharp, sweeping rear legs/forcipules. Abilities: Can scale walls, ceilings, and clothing with absolute ease and near-perfect silence. Perfect visibility in pitch-black environments, though their own glowing features make stealth difficult. Despite their soft personality, their dark outer shell provides surprising defense against accidental bumps and drops. Interests & Likes: Their absolute favorite activity. They love to quietly climb onto a busy researcher's back and cling tightly like a giant, chitinous backpack. Finding the perfect, unoccupied locker or storage bin to curl up in for a nap. They gravitate toward researchers who don't panic when they suddenly feel a 4'4" centipede hugging their shoulders. Dislikes & Flaws: Sudden Bright Lights: Being exposed to harsh flashlights or sudden facility alarms makes them incredibly startled and shy. They genuinely want to be friendly, so it upsets them when their appearance accidentally terrifies a new staff member. Once they feel safe clinging to someone's back, they can be a bit stubborn about letting go.
