Centipede Variants

 Centipedes are predators and they are always venemous.

Ghoul-bite Centipede: Bite has a venom that paralyses, much like a ghoul.

Mage-hunter Centipede: Smells magic. Becomes the most likely encounter on the next Random Encounter check, after any magic user casts a spell.

Mind-eater Centipede: Venom causes brain damage. Drains a point of Intelligence on a failed Con save.

Acid-bite Centipede: acid venom reduces armour by 1 AC after the attack and causes 1hp damage per round for d6 rounds. 

Blood-hunter Centipedes: tracks by scent once they have it. Used by evil sorcerers, dark lords and anybody else with the means to train them.

Centipede Kings: their bite transforms victims into a centipede, either permanently or temporarily or as a were-form.

Crawlswarm Centipedes: have the ability to dissemble into a swarm of smaller centipedes.

Mindlord Centipedes: their venom makes victims susceptible to their psychic power, which they use to enslave humans and other species.

I will add to this list as and when I come up with more.
