Then why bother saying that all venom can work if you know that certain animals are immune completely and others have too much tough armor to do any harm? Most animals that are specialized in killing a specific animal, its poison wont be as destructive or work at all against another animal, or its attacks wont work either.

Of course many animals are specialised, but if the venom is strong, it can kill many animals. For examle lot's of animals have venom, what has an effect on humans, even tough they never saw some, before humans started taking over the world, so they would only know them, for around of 100 years at best, not enough time, to evolve new venom. |

Against an armored tank like the giant centipede? Sorry but no, it will have a heck of hard time against this animal and will lose. Frogs and Amphibians have no such counter weapons and they helpless against it. Humans are a bad example since we basically have intelligence. Animals have us beat in practically everything else. |

But humans can stand a lot of venom, because we are getting more venom every day, than some animals in their whole life(many animals could die quickly if they would smoke or drink alcohol, humans can survive it). Also, they did not beat us in everything else, for example we have very useful forelimbs(long, with flexible thumbs, flexible shoulders). |

Yea eat a leg off an animal that has a lot of them . To eat em all it would have to let go in order to change to another set. Also the core of it is IN the armor.

No I never said it was going to alternate legs and the process of eating the leg is to help get to the vitals and chew right through it's bodies, their legs are connected to the joints, also what do you mean by "the core" the organs run throughout the body yes the majority of the body is protected by armor but the organs still are exposed at the joints |

Which is located in the armor. Once it reaches the armor, there is no more chewing going on. |

no not really, you act as if the pede is 100% armor it's not: ![]() see the sides where the legs come out? That's ALL unarmored, easy pickings for the scorpion just chew right through the flanks |
