[edit] Journal Entry

"Giant centipedes are said to have been raised in the Brokilon Forest and released into the world by vengeful dryads. The creatures are believed to be invincible, as they simply divide into two separate living beasts when cut in half. All this nonsense about giant centipedes only shows how intensely common people fear these venomous beasts, as they fear all things that are not human."

[edit] Notes

• Geralt can loot Giant Centipede remains for their Chitinous carapaces without having the monsters' bestiary entry. Therefore, you needn't read The Wonderful World of Insectoids to complete The Giant Centipede Contract quest.
