The **Evil Centipede** is a rare mob in florr.io, added in the Centipede update on January 25, 2020. It behaves like a normal centipede until a flower comes close to its head, at which point it will chase the flower.

## Appearance

**Body:**Body segments consist of a purple circle with a slightly darker outline. On opposites sides of the circle, the tips of two small, black circles show, representing legs. The segment moves perpendicular to the direction the legs are oriented.

**Head:**Exactly like the body, but has two antennae that point in the direction it's moving. The antennae consist of a small, curved, black line with a small, black circle at the end. The antennae appear on both sides of the head and point away from the center. It always the first segment of the centipede and will always have an AI.

## Stats & Behavior

**Speed:** Slow when passive, medium-fast when aggressive

**Health (per segment):**  50 HP

**Body Damage:**  10 HP

Wanders around randomly (like a normal centipede) until a flower gets close to it, at which point it will chase the flower. The centipede is able to collide with its own body, meaning that a player can cause the centipede to get tangled up in its own body, impeding its movement.

If a middle segment is destroyed, the front most segment in the new set of segments becomes the head, chasing the player. This effectively can cause multiple smaller centipedes to be chasing the player.

## Drops

 Peas (Legendary) | 0.1%

*Note: Drops chances are per segment*

## Tips

* The evil centipede is good for farming for peashooter builds since they are the only mob to drop the legendary version of the pea petal. You can also gain an Iris, which is nearly guaranteed to drop.
	+ Although the drop rate is low, this is for each segment, so with this in mind, the chance will be multiplied by the number of segments (generally 10).
	+ This makes the evil centipede great for farming, with each segment giving you 5 XP and each iris (assuming 8 drops from an 82% drop rate) giving you an additional 10 XP. That's 130 XP total! The value could differ based on length and luck from drops.
* Individual segments aren't that strong, but the long line of segments means that if this mob is chasing you, be prepared to run for a while.
	+ There is no limit to the number of segments that can be directly chasing you, so it is better to start killing the Evil Centipede at the front segments rather than starting at the middle.

## Trivia

* The Evil Centipede is the only rare mob that does not drop rare petals.
* Like the regular Centipede, Evil Centipedes will spawn in segments of eleven. However, sometimes a "massive evil centipede" can spawn with 51 segments!
* The head of the Evil Centipede (with the two antennae) is the only segment of a newly spawned Evil Centipede that will move towards the flower, so it is possible to have the other segments block the head's movement (and curl the centipede into a spiral) by rotating around the centipede. (see *Gallery,*far right picture). This can slow down the centipede's movement allowing for easy escape.
* A full evil centipede has the highest chance of dropping an epic or legendary petal, with a 14.3% chance of dropping an epic petal and a 1.1% chance of dropping a legendary.
