Centipede sight

Burrowing inside, I was quickly in the dark, but it didn’t bother me at all. The thing had a delicious center, and it would only be a little bit before…

There.

There it was.

I could feel the brain dissolving as I filled the space that served as a skull, and I discovered that I could get just as much information from the brain by eating it as by visual examination.

The thing had the ability to burrow, through earth and sand at least, although rock was a little too tough. It could see in low light conditions a little better than the underground dwellers I’d taken before; however, it had visual acuity like an eagle. Eagles could see eight times as well as humans, letting them see rabbits at a distance of two miles. This thing could see ten times as far as a human. It wasn’t just the size of its eyes, either. It’s eye design was alien and superior.
