A single-eyed centipede the size of a pony, a magtail attacks with a giant pair of scissor-like mandibles. Carnivorous by nature, it strikes upon virtually anything that moves too close. A magtail is nourished in part by heat, and consequently is most often found near magma or other areas of extremely high temperatures. The black-and-orange body of a magtail visibly glows red with the sheer heat coursing beneath its exoskeleton.
Life Cycle. Magtails are adolescents grown up from gohma larva that adapted to feed on volcanic heat. After many years a thriving magtail can grow into a gohma or the more powerful fire gohma.
Environment: Volcanic
