'''Carrion Crawlers''' are an iconic species of [[monster]] in [[Dungeons & Dragons]], dating all the way back to the earliest editions of the game. Their artwork has changed over the editions, but the fundamental idea remains the same; carrion crawlers resemble a giant beetle-grub or caterpillar, with the business end consisting of long, octopus-like tentacles around a flesh-eating maw. These beasts are, as their name implies, predatory scavengers, scouring caves, [[dungeon]]s or even the [[Underdark]] in pursuit of dead meat to devour. If presented with a dearth of carrion, they are well-equipped to make their own kills, as their tentacles possess a paralyzing touch not unlike that of a [[ghoul]]. This paralysis is notable for a relatively high save DC and an absurd duration for the creature's CR. While the crawler itself deals very little damage, they are very dangerous in mixed groups. Also, like the [[Rust Monster]], they make an excellent base for the multi-headed template.
