* AnimalsNotToScale: This centipede is the size of a '''python'''. Normally, it doesn't get much bigger than a worm.
* CreepyCentipedes: Oh hell yes! This creature is absolutely terrifying, in no small part because it is '''far''' bigger then it has any reason to be.
* TheWorfEffect: Perhaps the only straight example in the game - it can kill a ''Machairodus'' with ease, but the only creature that can kill it is a hominid e.g. [[PlayerCharacter you]].

!!''Crocodylus thorbjarnarsoni''
A prehistoric crocodile and extreme threat for those who wander too close to the water.
----
* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: On both the giving and receiving end with ''Machairodus'' - luring one into the other will inevitably result in one ending up dead.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: You ''really'' don't want to meet one of these things unprepared.
* TheWorfEffect: On both the giving and receiving end with ''Machairodus'', with the deciding factor being whether the crocodile is on land or in the water.

[[folder:Machairodus]]
!!''Machairodus''
An early sabertooth, and the namesake of the group.
----
* CatsAreMean: The most aggressive predator in the game - beware encountering it while injured.
* SeldomSeenSpecies: While saber tooth cats are often featured in Cenozoic fiction, ''Machairodus'' is normally ignored in favor of either ''Smilodon'' or, more rarely, ''Homotherium''
* SuperPersistentPredator: It takes a ''long'' time to get these cats to stop chasing you.
* TheWorfEffect: ON both the giving and receiving end when facing crocodiles and pythons. It doesn't stand a chance when facing of against an elephant or centipede, though.
