"It resembles a giant": ... giant what?

"It resembles a giant": ... giant what?

Giant centipede. He broke the "giant" powers and the "centipede" powers out separately.

Just when I thought I was following a standard motif I find out that I am not. Oh well.

At least it makes sense to me. :doi:

It makes sense to me, too. Maybe it would have been better to repeat "Resembles a giant centipede" four times, but I can definitely see how you were trying to avoid that repetitiveness.

Of course, I know what a Slither is, too, so maybe I had an advantage there.

I've repeated a special effect multiple times, if that's all I have to go with.

I am thinking of adding an area affect to it's grab maneuver. Any thoughts?
