By book
Scolopendra in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
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.
