Centipede

An arthropod containing many legs. Contrary to the name, they only have about 50-60 legs depending on the size of the specimen. The largest species in the world is the Amazonian Giant Centipede (Scolopendra Gigantea) and the largest species in the United States is the Giant Desert Centipede (Scolopendra Heros). Although the venom is not as potent as that of a rattlesnake, the bite is known to be very painful. However this centipede is very doscile (idk how to spell it) and does not run into humans that often. Most bites have occurred either on purpose, or when the creature was trying to be free handled. So the chances of taking a bite while minding your own business is slim to none.

"Centipede" is also a Dubstep song by the Australian electronic music duo Knife Party from their 2012 album Rage Valley. Among its release, it hit #47 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs. It's been featured on notable video games including Guitar Hero Live and Beat Saber

Stephen King

Stephen King is an American author from Portland Maine, regarded as the "King of Horror", he is most famously known for his horror novels including Misery, Carrie, The Shining, It, and Pet Sematary. He also has some fantasy and drama novels too like his novella "The Body" (the film adaptation for this novel is Stand By Me), The Shawshank Redemption, and The Dark Tower. All of his works were made into movies and most of these movies received very positive views from critics and grossed quite a bit of money. The Shining and The Shawshank Redemption being the most popular. However, King did not like the film adaptation of The Shining. He didn't like who the director (Stanley Kubrick) cast as the main antagonist (Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrence), how they twisted the plot, and how Kubrick glossed over important morals from the book like the dangers of alcoholism (because King wrote the book while suffering from alcoholism).

Stephen King's writing style in most of his novels is that kid(s) are usually main protagonist(s) and adult(s) are usually the main antagonist(s). Looks at his stories like the ones listed above. The only one I can think of that is an exception to this is "Misery" where the main protagonist and antagonist are both adults.
