Elder Centipede

Elder Centipede (ムカデ長老, Mukade Chōrō) is a Mysterious Being that appears after Metal Bat defeats Senior Centipede and Rafflesidon. He's also member of the Monster Association. He is the main antagonist of the Monster Raid Arc.

Appearance
Elder Centipede, in contrast to his two counterparts is far more monster-like, sporting a jet black armor covering his body. Its main head is heavily reminiscent of one of Melzalgald's heads, and seems to be contained inside other two heads. Its secondary head has four glowing eyes, antennae and extremely sharp teeth. It is immense in size, dwarfing many humans and coming close to the size of a city.

Personality
Unlike it's previous counterparts, it is far more driven and cautious of its opponent, dodging an attack and going after its true target immediately.

History
The last time he appeared he nearly leveled a city and then disappeared. According to Hero Association staff members, Elder Centipede was smaller when he was last spotted two years ago.

Monster Raid Arc
After Metal Bat finished off two demon level monsters, Elder Centipede emerged from the ground. Elder Centipede attempts to get the Hero Association sponsors, but is intercepted by Metal Bat. However, Metal Bat's swing did not manage to injure Elder Centipede and Elder Centipede launches Metal Bat toward a building.

While, Elder Centipede continued to chase after two heroes to get the Hero Association sponsor, Metal Bat managed to get on Elder Centipede's head. Metal Bat then unleashes an attack on Elder Centipede's head. To get Metal Bat off him, Elder Centipede tries to shake Metal Bat off by with maneuvering around the city.

Elder Centipede continues rampage through the city as he tries to get his hands on the Hero Association sponsors. When he finally manages to corner Mohican and Pineapple, Bofoi arrives and attacks Elder Centipede.

Despite the powerful set of missiles, Elder Centipede remained undamaged by Bofoi's attacks and comments that Bofoi's robot is just an annoying bug.
