"You may want to bug out when you encounter this scary Bakugan. If the sign of all those legs isn't enough to spook you, this creature's giant pincers will have you running for cover."
—Bakugan Official Handbook describing the Centipoid, Bakugan
"A vile centipede hailing from Frejentonta, a river of boiling blood in the depths of Inferno, rumors speak of it's body exceeding ten kilometers in length. Moving unlike anything its size, its deftness allows it to wrap around and constrict its prey in the blink of an eye."
—Book of Infernal Demons, Bayonetta 2
"Indeed, centipedes are quite fast to boot, wot? If the beast attacks us, how will we flee to safety? Moreover, they have hard shells, so we can't stop it with a furious stomping ... We're doomed!"
—Blathers, Animal Crossing City Folk
"Giant centipedes are said to have been raised in the Brokilon Forest and released into the world by vengeful dryads. The creatures are believed to be invincible, as they simply divide into two separate living beasts when cut in half. All this nonsense about giant centipedes only shows how intensely common people fear these venomous beasts, as they fear all things that are not human."
