Character · Book 2, Carl's Doomsday Scenario
Scolopendra
The monster at the bottom of the volcano in the Over City's founding story, whose nine-tier poison cloud transformed ninety per cent of the kingdom; named, never seen. Every mold lion, clown and city-elf superstition on the third floor traces back to the cataclysm.

The great monster at the bottom of the volcano (ch. 3), named by Signet as the source of a Nine Tier attack (ch. 8) and by the city elves' theology as the origin of the earthbound's hatred of angels (ch. 17); Miss Quill's Final War is modelled on the cloud (ch. 24). Never seen; every monster on the floor is its aftermath.
