Carrion Crawlers resemble giant grubs and can be found in caves, sewers or occasionally wandering in the wilderness. They tend to travel in groups of at least two (though they can be encountered alone) and can both paralyse their targets in combat and transmit diseases.

Trivia[]
- The offical website for the original game, now archived, had – in addition to some combat-related statistics – the following information about carrion crawlers:[1]
The size was given as 9 feet long.The carrion crawler is a scavenger of subterranean areas, feeding primarily upon carrion. When such food becomes scarce, however, it will attack and kill living creatures.
The crawler looks like a cross between a giant green cutworm and a cephalopod. Like so many other hybrid monsters, the carrion crawler may well be the result of genetic experimentation by a mad, evil wizard.
The monster's head, which is covered with tough hide that gives it Armor Class 3, sprouts eight slender, writhing tentacles. The body of the carrion crawler is not well protected and has an Armor Class of only 7. The monster is accompanied by a rank, fetid odor, which often gives warning of its approach.
