An arthropod containing many legs. Contrary to the name, they only have about 50-60 legs depending on the size of the specimen. The largest species in the world is the Amazonian Giant Centipede (Scolopendra Gigantea) and the largest species in the United States is the Giant Desert Centipede (Scolopendra Heros). Although the venom is not as potent as that of a rattlesnake, the bite is known to be very painful. However this centipede is very doscile (idk how to spell it) and does not run into humans that often. Most bites have occurred either on purpose, or when the creature was trying to be free handled. So the chances of taking a bite while minding your own business is slim to none.
"Centipede" is also a Dubstep song by the Australian electronic music duo Knife Party from their 2012 album Rage Valley. Among its release, it hit #47 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs. It's been featured on notable video games including Guitar Hero Live and Beat Saber
