Centipare

""It craves attention and control, as children do. Its back is tough enough to hold some weight without panicking. I envy it as far as that goes. The last time I tried to give my son a ride, I threw out my back.""

- Description of the juvenile ""The S.S. Dolphin II says the matured ones travel far from home to find their mates. Love that asks so much effort is the most romantic, in my opinion.""

- Description of the adult

The Centipare is an aerial species that was discovered by Captain Olimar on PNF-404, during his Sparklium expedition. Olimar noted how this species aided him in his expedition. It is the sole member of the "Centifly" family.

Appearance
Centipares are very large, the longest aerial species ever discovered on PNF-404. Its body is segmented, elongated like a millipede or worm, with numerous sets of insect-like wings to give it lift. They begin life with only one pair of wings, but overtime they lengthen, with another set of wings growing to accommodate its larger size. The most ever recorded is about eleven to twelve pairs of wings, also making it the creature with the most wings of any animal.

Behavior
Centipares are peaceful creatures, as noted by Olimar himself as they actually allowed him to ride on them as he traveled through particularly dangerous terrain. Younger Centipare he noted crave attention as Hocotatian children do.
