This large, burrowing animal is grayish-brown and nearly one meter in diameter.  Its body is composed of multiple segments, ending in a large, dangerous head.  The face has two bulbous, black eyes, and a wide, gaping maw with a powerful pair of sharp, pinching mandibles.  These mandibles are the animal's only weapon.  Once it has incapacitated one victim, it will turn its attentions on any others nearby.  Caterpillars are inedible and appear to be full of a horrible-smelling, viscous liquid.
