Gigapede

The Gigapede is an immortal highly mutated centipede utilised as the main weapon of the Children of Atom

Background
An intelligent, philosophical, and even affectionate creature created by Dr. Yarrow, and described as the "holy weapon of Atom", the Gigapede has an armored carapice akin to that of Ants and Radroaches, however additionally secretes poisonous and radioactive chemicals which it can also spit large distances. It is untrackable due to it's burrowing ability, and leaves the Atomite Handlers that command it alone due to them commanding it to. The Gigapede was trained by Minnie Mabee from Beatsville to follow instructions given to it in American Sign Language which can be exploited by player characters to take control of it. The Gigapede is unbreakingly loyal to the Last Son of Atom, and needs to consume a large amount of irradiated meats in order to remain healthy. Without such a diet, the Gigapede's scales turn grey and the creature would become sickly to the degree that it would die before the spring.

Young Gigapedes are the offspring of the Gigapede, and are described as being about the same size as a horse, but three times as long.
