Withertails first emerge in the Red Rising Saga as terrifying subterranean predators native to the lightless depths of Mercury's subterranean ecosystems. These albino centipedes thrive in the toxic bat guano seas beneath the planet's surface, where they have evolved to hunt weakened prey with ruthless efficiency. Their introduction marks a significant expansion of the saga's ecological worldbuilding, revealing how even the most inhospitable environments harbor apex predators that pose unique threats to the warring factions above ground.
