Ulcerchainc

Ûlceracin (sing. "Ylcarcan") are large, red, centipede-like creatures that move in hordes across the dense forests of southeastern Endor. Nocturnal creatures, they feed on rotting vegetation, insects, carrion, and (occasionally) live prey. They are extremely quick and are capable of scaling trees and swimming across placid water. Like ants, they operate in rigidly-defined social groups, if necessary swarming to defend their lairs. Ûlcercain generally reside in rotting logs.

Most of the so-called "Evil Fangs" are harmless to the Children of Iluvatar; however, the "warriors" that comprise about twenty percent of any colony will attack virtually anything and anyone. Immobilized or sleeping folk need be careful around these crea- tures. Armed with powerful 2-3 inch mandibles and a mild (lvl 0) nerve venom, a group of Warrior Ûlcercain can slay and clean a Man in a matter of minutes.
