The Frightcrawler is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Frightcrawlers are the large caterpillars with light green bodies, purple heads that are covered in spikes, and pink mandibles filled with sharp fangs. They attack in a similar way to their brethren, by rolling up their bodies and leaping at enemies. Frightcrawlers can poison their enemies, both with the toxic spikes on their body or by exhaling a poisonous breath. This makes them a well known nuisance to adventurers, even if they aren't otherwise particularly powerful.
