Feats

Monstrous centipedes tend to attack anything that resembles food, biting with their jaws and injecting their poison.

Fiendish creatures dwell on the lower planes, the realms of evil, although they resemble beings found on the Material Plane. They are more fearsome in appearance than their earthly counterparts.

Fiendish creatures are often mistaken for half-fiends, more powerful creatures that are created when a fiend mates with a noncelestial creature, or through some foul infernal breeding project.

These fiendish creatures are commonly summoned by a summon monster II spell.
