Centipedes,[1][2][3] also called snakes,[4] are giant yellow monsters that pace back and forth atop the mountains in the level Frustration in Yoshi's Story. They have 16 segments (counting the head), with a pink spike on every segment except the head. They are invincible enemies that make a grunting sound while moving, and they follow a set path of movement to try to obstruct the player.
