History:

Very little is known about where this particular mutant originated from, other that it is now believed to be responsible for seismic disturbances in the area around the Phosphora Nebranium plant.

The earliest recording of unusual seismic activity was on December 15th, 1978 when prospectors investigating a potential new oil deposit detected powerful quakes in the area that destabilized rock formations and made the prospective drilling zone too dangerous to stay. In the days that followed, numerous other tremors cropped up around the plant which caused major concern that the tremors may damage the plant.

A second group of prospectors was sent to the area with seismic equipment to try and determine the origin or cause of the strange quakes. Several hours into the investigation and a particularly powerful tremor shook the area, setting off numerous seismographs placed by the team. Upon investigation, it appeared that the tremors where actually moving in a northbound direction before going out of range of the seismographs.

This moving tremor came to a head at a large bridge situated above a stony gorge. The violent tremor shook the bridge to it's foundations, quickly causing the structure to become unstable. The asphalt of the bridge began to crack and fragment while the metal supports buckled at last, sending the entire bridge crashing into the gorge below. Thankfully nobody was on the bridge when it collapsed, and so there was nobody to witness a jagged, red carapace slide through the loose dirt on segmented yellow legs.

Only four days later, the mysterious tremors struck yet again, this time on a frequently used railroad line. However this time, the doomed train would encounter the source of the tremors. As the locomotive loaded with passengers traveled along it's usual route, the driver spotted something enormous laying on the tracks. At first he mistook it for a rockslide until the "rockslide" began to move on it's own! The driver slammed on the brakes, launching passengers and luggage out of their seats. The action was preformed too late however, and the train slammed into the reddish-brown object at full speed. The object did not budge an inch, and instead the locomotive flattened against in on impact. The train cars disconnected and crashed into each other while simultaneously careening off the rails.

The reddish brown mass began to move again on pointy yellow legs: dozens of them. The rest of the mass came into view from the trees that obscured it to reveal a truly horrific creature of gigantic proportion. The monstrosity was a centipede, much like the ones found in basements and under logs, but several hundred times the size. The abomination was resting on with half it's body on the train tracks while the other half was buried underground. The titanic arthropod's antenna twitched and writhed, feeding the horror's primitive brain sensory information. The titan could feel the throbbing of hundreds of panicked hearts inside the overturned train carts; hundreds of prey trying to escape.

The serpentine arthropod crept over to the overturned cars, the back half of it's body emerging from underground. The beast formed a ring around the overturned cars with it's own body, trapping it's prey in it's clutches. The hungry monstrosity's mandibles dripped with steaming, sizzling digestive acid as it used it's elongated forelimbs to peel away the steel roofs of the train cars before lowering it's prodigious head in to feed on the hapless passengers. Those who managed to escape the cars could do nothing to get past the literal wall of armor that comprised the centipede's entire body. For these poor souls, all hope was lost as the creature took it's time eating them one by one.

After two hours of feeding, the centipede left the area a bloody massacre strewn with regurgitated bones and personal items of the passengers. This beast's rampage would be short lived however, as the following day a battle would occur at the Phosphora plant that would set in motion events that would change the course of history forever. The centipede detected the heartbeats of two massive creatures; more prey times, hopefully more satisfactory than the humans it snacked on the other day.

As the bear and the Cavernook clashed to the death in the reactor complex, the Bear quickly gained the upper hand against it's wounded opponent. Under the effects of Hemorrhagic Rabies, the bear was simply too aggressive and too strong. As the enormous mammal prepared to deliver the killing blow, the centipede made it's move. The concrete and asphalt cracked wide open and metal piping bent out of the way as the arthropod emerged from behind the bear. The centipede reared up like an armored cobra and hissed at it's prey before lunging. The bear attempted to counter with a strike from one of it's paws but it merely glanced off of the hardened chitin that protected the arthropod.

The centipede bit down on the bear's shoulder with the full might of it's pointed fangs, but found them to be insufficient at penetrating the bear's tough hide even after repeated bites. The bear countered with a powerful bite to the centipede's sides where the armor was softer; the bear's canines crunching the light armor and drawing the faintest droplets of pale yellow blood. The bear continued to gnaw on this chink in the creature's armor. The centipede used it's elongated forelimbs to dig into the Bear's body; the pointed appendages stabbing into the open sores and raw tissue on some parts of the mammal's body. The bear ignored the pain and tightened it's bite, now a steady stream of yellow blood dripping from it's mouth.

The bear suddenly let go as it howled in pain, turning around to see the bat clamped down on it's leg and quickly regenerating before it's very eyes. The vampiric flyer took to the skies as the centipede attacked again, coiling it's body around the bear and squeezing as hard as a serpent would to suffocate prey. The bat attacked from the sky, clawing at the bear's head with it's feet. The bear uttered an earth shattering roar as it summoned it's immense strength to break free from the centipede's grip and push the arthropod into a nearby smokestack. The creature quickly recovered and detected the bat coming in for another attack, talons bared and ready. The centipede struck like a viper and sank it's fangs into the bat's deformed left leg, it's fangs easily sinking into the warped flesh of it's adversary.

The bat screeched as it flew upwards, the centipede still gripping it's prey's leg. The arthropod brought it's elongated forelimbs to play and stabbed all eight of them into the bat's chest and pushed it to the ground. The bat flapped it's wings and flailed wildly as the insectoid creature prepared to deliver a bite to the neck. Suddenly the bear re-entered the fight, charging on all fours and colliding with the centipede with all of it's mass. The bear and the centipede crashed into the reactor's control room and carved a deep trench into the concrete from the impact.

The bat narrowly avoided being crushed to death by the two monsters as they demolished the control room. As it attempted to take flight, the bat could no longer feel or move the leg where the centipede had bitten it, and this lack of feeling was spreading up it's waist. The centipede and the bear continued to clash in the rubble of the reactor control room, huge slabs of concrete falling from the ruined upper floors and onto the beast's. Neither monster was able to hurt the other, both sported skin too thick for the other to harm without exploiting weak spots.

However the centipede had one final trick up it's sleeve. Rearing up like a cobra, the centipede tricked the bear into thinking it was going to strike with it's fangs again. When the berserk mammal moved in to counter, the prodigious creature spat forth a glob of digestive juices into the bear's face. The mammal stumbled back and howled as the acid ate it's once tough hide down to the bone. The bear thrashed wildly, unable to see as the centipede crawled it's way towards it's stunned prey. The bear's pain subsided as it was overtaken with primal fury, bleeding profusely from it's orfices due to Hemorrhagic Rabies. The disease was nearing it's last, fatal stages as it's madness inducing effects compelled the bear to continue fighting.

The centipede was beginning to become overwhelmed by the bear's ferocious onslaught, unable to retaliate against it. The bat attempted an opportunistic flyby but was batted aside by a swipe of the bear's paw. The centipede attempted to coil around the bear once more, this time squeezing tighter than before as the bear already attempted to free itself again. The bat, now growing weak from the paralysis consuming it's body, attempted to feed on the bear's blood once more to try and counteract the venom. As the bat began to feed and the centipede began to overpower the bear, there was a bright flash of light that swallowed all three beings.

A fiery, destructive shockwave utterly obliterated all three creatures in a fiery display before continuing to annihilate the Phosphora plant and the town of Dzerzhinsk.
