Aquapedes have long, tattered red frills similar to those of s. They have no legs and four antennae on both ends of their bodies. Their heads can emit a bright glow.

Combat
Aquapedes poses a significant threat in tight spaces making it harder to avoid getting grabbed and then shocked by them, try to make it follow you towards the surface where there is a ground leveled platform to stand on. Use as a primary weapon to hit it with, when it recedes back into the water go in the water to attract its attention to start chasing you, 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  if possible, to minimalize as much as possible for the chance of getting nabbed sense it can't keep up with their swimming speed.

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 a live bait like a to make it occupied with electrocuting while sneaking past it.

Abilities & Behavior
Its abilities aren't that noteworthy with the exceptions of having wings that is capable to be used as a paddle to swim underwater but losing the ability to climb with their legs that are completely removed by natural selections, not needed for a marine lifestyle. It behaves like a regular centipede, hunting down prey with its powerful shock from both of its head but more actively searching for them in the water instead of their more relaxed land-dwelling relatives who stay in groups while the aquapede are solitary, never remaining close to their own species.
