Description: The Carnopleura has taken its gigantism even further than the Great Pillipedes of the same island. The large species (red) grows to two-and-a-half meters in length, and consumes anything on the forest floor that cannot escape. This is not to say that it is a great hunter, though. It is rather slow with its large size, and has been observed attempting to prey on Megapill, but they cannot successfully bite through the armor or squeeze hard enough to crush them. It can eat the softer amphibians, though. It will also consume the bark off of dead logs. The other species of Carnopleura is not quite as pronounced as its apex scavenger cousin, although it successfully lives a more secretive lifestyle, similar to todays millipedes. It can eat the moss off of trees and can eat small insects inside of rotting logs.
