Centipeedle

## Appearance

### Corrupted

The Centipeetle's corrupted form is that of a giant centipede-like creature. Her head is composed primarily of a gigantic pair of jaws/mandibles with a gem in the back of the "mouth". Her gem seems to act as its iris, being in the middle of what would rationally be a sclera. She has a flowing, light-cream colored mane immediately behind her head.

### Semi-Healed

While her mind is still damaged by the diamonds, her form takes on a more humanoid appearance thanks to Steven's healing. Her body appears more humanoid, and her head is slightly different than her fully corrupted form, her eye is no longer inside of her mouth. She also has what appears to be a sort of pincer on her rear. She wore torn-up light gray clothing, and what appears to be a bodysuit similar to Pearl's in Space Race.

## History

Centipeetle and her squadron were ordered to travel to Earth on an Ancient Gem Colony Ship with the plans of colonizing the planet. Once the Rebellion had begun, Centipeetle and her crew fought in the war, but Centipeetle eventually got split up and was on her own. Centipeetle's commander ordered all the Gems to retreat either through the ships or warp pads, but she had been left behind, unable to escape. She was then corrupted, along with nearly every other Gem that remained on Earth, by a weapon activated by the diamonds.

While being corrupted, Steven was able to befriend, like a pet, but she was eventually bubbled again. However in "Monster Reunion", Steven's healing spit is back and he convinces the Gems to let him try and heal Centipeetle with his power. He does so, but Centipeetle transforms into a semi-corrupt form, gaining humanoid arms and legs but the inability to speak properly. Steven convinces the Gems to let Centipeetle stay, and later, Centipeetle and Steven communicate through art. Centipeetle tells Steven her backstory, and then begins to revert into her corrupted form. Steven tries to heal her again, but to no avail. Centipeetle tries to use the warp pad but cannot, so she reveals to Steven that she wants to go to her ship. Steven takes her there, and on the way, Centipeetle reverts back to her corrupted form completely. Inside the ship are other Centipeetle that look exactly like herself, and it is revealed through Centipeetle's writing (which is in the Gem language) that it was her crew members that were waiting for her to return home. Centipeetle is currently living inside of the ship with her crew.

## Personality

Centipeedle, while in her fully corrupted state, acts animal like and doesn't respond too much to human interaction, but she is able to befriend Steven, much like a human would with a pet dog. She isn't aware of who is really is in this state.

When semi-healed, Centipeedle has little memories of her past, but if she sees something familiar, or relating to them, they will come back to her. She is overall friendly and grateful to Steven and maybe even playful.
She is clearly traumatized by the events that had happened to her and is easily agitated when Steven cannot understand her writing. Once she reunites with her crewmates, she is grateful to Steven once more and remains in the ship.

## Abilities

Centipeetle is capable of eating with her mouth despite her eye being located in her jaw and blocking her throat, thus making it so that there is no visible means of having the ingested food reach any sort of stomach.

### Unique Abilities

* **Hybrid Arthropod Physiology**: Due to having the appearance of two arthropods, specifically a centipede and a beetle, the Centipeetle Mother has the innate abilities of both organisms.
	+ **Chilopodan Physiology**: Like a centipede, the Mother uses her jaws to attack enemies or prey. Both employ deadly substances in their attacks. The centipede uses venom while the Mother uses a corrosive liquid.
	+ **Coleopteran Physiology**: Like a beetle, the Mother's defenses are increased due to the hard gem-like covering each segment possesses.
	+ **Climbing Skills**: She is able to climb vertical walls and sheer cliff faces.
* **Creature Creation**: The Centipeetle Mother has the ability to produce and command Centipeetles that aid her in battle.
* **Corrosive Liquid Generation**: She can produce an extremely corrosive substance that can easily erode various materials, ranging from wood to stone to ice. She can use this corrosive substance as a projectile to attack from afar or assault enemies with a constant torrent of the substance to easily break down their defenses.
	+ **Rotative Spitting**: In "Monster Buddies", the small Centipeetle Mother is seen to be able to rotate its head many times. She utilized this in that she spun her head rapidly and sprayed its corrosive substance, showering the immediate area in a manner extremely similar to that of a sprinkler.

## Relationships

### Steven

Centipeetle's only known relationship is being a friend with Steven Universe. As being for the enemy/target of the Crystal Gems, she has been provoked by their attacks. As for Steven, she is fond of him, such as when he gives her Chaaaaps and having fun with him, which has no sort of danger inflicted.

After being healed by Steven, Centipeetle at first, does not appear to remember him. However, after Steven opens a bag of Chaaaaps, her memories begin to return and she starts remembering him, and her memories of before she was corrupted. Centipeetle appears to have been very friendly towards Steven, even after reverting to her fully corrupted form.
