Sage Centipede

Insolent, tiny humans! Hear me! We have been sent here to destroy the abominable fist that has turned against God!

Sage Centipede (ムカデ仙人, Mukade Sen'nin) is an immensely large centipede-like Mysterious Being. It claims to have emerged to destroy the "abominable fist" that opposes "God".

Appearance
Sage Centipede is a massive centipede-like monster, surpassing even Elder Centipede who was already one of the largest monsters seen. While it does bear some resemblance to Elder Centipede, it is notably more monstrous to a degree, having a sharper armor that stuck out while both his humanoid head and centipede face hold numerous eyes at once. Its mandibles are also more massive while its antennas are wider and thicker. Sage Centipede's limbs, while as numerous as a normal centipede, look like twisted human arms with claws and armor on them.

Personality
Not much of Sage Centipede's personality is shown yet.

Monster Association Arc
Sage Centipede is first seen deep beneath the Earth where the Mysterious Shrine was located, only with its shadow rising.

Later on after Garou defeats Platinum Sperm, Sage Centipede bursts out from the massive hole where Tatsumaki has attacked Orochi. Declaring that humanity, for going against "God", must receive divine retribution for their transactions and declares it and Evil Ocean Water the incarnations of Father Earth and Mother Ocean. Just as it finishes talking, Garou jumps towards it and smacks it in the face many times.

Abilities and Powers
Sage Centipede is a gargantually large Mysterious Being, being superior in size and strength to his underling Elder Centipede, who was himself an extremely large and powerful Dragon-level threat.

Physical Abilities
Immense Strength: Sage Centipede was able to push his way through the remnants of the Monster Association Headquarters that Tatsumaki had reshaped into a city-sized spear, and with his mandibles he could shear his way straight through the gigantic weapon after lifting it out of the crater that Tatsumaki had made with it.

Immense Durability: Sage Centipede was capable of withstanding blows to his face from Awakened Garou.

Quotes
