Skolopendropteres are a sparrow-sized group of makropneumonopteres that feed mainly on terrestrial tentaculopods and sometimes small tetragnathes. Their characteristic front feet evolved into hunting weapons; the now non-retractable proximal front claws are enlarged and hollow while parts of the retracting "tendon" system became venom-producing glands. Their hunting strategy consists of attacking their prey from above, sting it and retreat. After it's death, they use their claws to tear a hole between the segments and then pull the flesh out with their extendable lips. The lip teeth can be rasping or hook-like, depending on their prey; species that feed more often on tetragnathes have usually vestigial lip teeth but stronger developed jaw teeth.
Goldtail: A species found mainly in plains and forest borders, hunts tentaculopods up to it's own sizeWhile usually solitary, they become semi-social during mating time.
Common forest crabhunter: Belongs to a group of non-venomous skolopendropteres that use sheer force instead of venom to dispatch teir prey and usually aim for smaller, heavier armed tentaculopods than the venomous species. They have vestigial lip teeth.
