I was fascinated to discover that they are related to water bears. Since I happen to know of a setting populated by overgrown water bears and rotifers, I'm thinking it might be fun to add some giant velvet worms (suitably adapted to a colder climate). I love making characters scream "Dear gods, what is THAT thing?!" while trying to scramble up a rock wall to get away from it.

Yep: instant critters, just add water.
Ooo! Nifty!
