==Summary==
Elder Centipede was a high ranking member of the Monster Association who first appeared in S-City, wreaking havoc and fighting the S-Class heroes Metal Bat and Bofoi. 
Elder Centipede was an exceptionally powerful monster. A pumped up Metal Bat was unable to deal even the slightest damage to the monster's carapace. Furthermore, Bofoi's missiles also proved to be nothing but a slight hindrance. Genos was barely able to break a single tooth of Elder Centipede and only managed to somewhat injure the monster once he attacked it's internal organs. The combined might of Bang and Bomb was enough to shatter Elder Centipede's carapace, but this proved to be only superficial damage and was not a fatal injury at all. In fact, this caused the monster to molt into an even more monstrous and powerful form, to the point where Bang was unsure if he could survive the battle. 
Elder Centipede was finally killed after being hit with a serious punch from Saitama.
