Yes, grasping talons around a sort of lamprey-like mouth; sort of like the things around the Predator's mouth. Though it's all made of living rock of different colors, etc.

Yeah, an 80-foot long rock-centipede-dragon is formidable, and the fact that it projects electromagnetic waves that blind the Nomes and heat metal (using that crystalline antenna) doesn't help. I wrote that scene SPECIFICALLY to give Baen a perfect Baen Cover Moment, since it provided a completely and utterly justified reason that the main female character had stripped to her underwear and advanced to within 20 feet of a huge semi-draconic monstrosity to do acoustic battle with it in this exotic cavern setting. Instead, we got Boris Karloff.
