'''''Smite Good {{Su}}:''''' Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe.

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] {{Ex}}:''' A monstrous centipede has a [[SRD:Poison|poison]]ous bite. The details vary by the centipede’s size, as shown on the table above. The save DCs are [[SRD:Constitution|Consitution]]-based. The indicated damage is both initial and secondary damage.  

'''[[SRD:Skills|Skills:]]''' Monstrous centipedes have a +4 racial bonus on [[Spot (SRD Skill)|Spot]] checks, and a +8 racial bonus on [[Climb (SRD Skill)|Climb]] and [[Hide (SRD Skill)|Hide]] checks. They can use either their [[Strength (SRD Term)|Strength]] or [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier for [[Climb (SRD Skill)|Climb]] checks, whichever is higher. Monstrous scorpions can take 10 on [[Climb (SRD Skill)|Climb]] checks, even if threatened or distracted.
