Before it sheds it must eat enough for three days. The Ankheg then goes into its burrow and starts its long shedding period. It is most vulnerable after shedding because it is weak and hungry. The Ankheg has sharp hooks on the end of each leg to help it with its burrowing and its mandibles can easily chop down a small tree but are used mostly for hunting. It is both a scavenger and a predator. It also squirts as an attack method. It can reach up to ten feet and weighs around 800 pounds.Like every insect it only grows bigger by shedding its exoskeleton.
