Aquapede

Aquapedes are type of variant exclusive to the Downpour DLC. They are characterized by their fast swimming, high aggression, and large size.

Appearance
Aquapedes are large, aquatic blue and black centipedes with protective shells and segmented bodies. Their blue shells are dappled with darker spots. Instead of legs, Aquapedes have long, tattered red frills similar to those of s. They have four antennae on both ends of their bodies. Their heads can emit a bright glow.

Combat
Aquapedes possess a significant threat in tight spaces, making it harder to avoid getting shocked. One method of defeating it is leading it towards the surface where there is a ground leveled platform to stand on. Use as a primary weapon, letting it chase you back out of the water if it recedes back in. Attempt to grab the spear on land near it so it can't reach you and keep repeating this until it is killed.

Evasion
While quite agile and fearsome underwater it has a difficult time trying to grab you while you're swimming in a straight line. Try to use the, as it is faster than the Aquapede.

Stealth
In underwater where the Aquapedes reside there can be multiple tunnel routes that you can use to avoid facing it and sneak past, if it's blocking a path crucial to progression use live bait like a to distract it.

Abilities & Behavior
The Aquapede uses its wing-like paddles along its body to swim. This comes at the cost of being able to climb. Like other centipedes, it hunts down prey with a powerful shock from both of its heads, preferring to hunt for prey in the water. Unlike other centipedes, Aquapedes are solitary, never remaining close to their own species.
