Weight

Biome Temperate deciduous forest


A large, cylindrical millipede. Their species name comes from the fact that the holotype specimen was collected from the Cryptic Forest, but they can be found on the Tremek Islands as well. They hide under leaf litter and rotting logs where they eat dead leaves, moss and other detritous. They have a hard exoskeleton and dozens of little tickly legs. When distressed, they will defend themselves by curling into a ball and secreting noxious chemicals which can cause dermatological burns.
