A Centipede is a wild insect that can be eaten in a pinch or used as bait. It is found by foraging on grass, sand and gravel. The game has two looks for it, and both share the same values.
A centipede barely fills the stomach and makes the eater unhappy. It is also risky to eat raw. Its best uses are as bird bait in traps and as an addition to Chum. It stays fresh for two weeks. The best occupations for insects are the Fishing Guide and the Park Ranger. Each starts with the same Foraging skill.
Eating
A Centipede lowers hunger by only 1. It holds 60 calories, with about 15 grams of protein and 6.5 grams of fat. Eating one adds 20 unhappiness.
A raw centipede can make the character sick. Cooking it makes it safe to eat, but the unhappiness stays. A cooked centipede is the only sensible way to eat one.
Next to a Caterpillar, a centipede holds more than twice the calories. A caterpillar holds 27 calories and is safe raw. Both lower hunger by 1 and add the same 20 unhappiness.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
| Item | Hunger | Calories | Carbs | Protein | Fat | Unhappiness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base.Centipede | -1 | 60 | 3.5 | 15.21 | 6.5 | 20 |

Cooking
A Centipede cooks in 5 minutes and burns after 25. The short window means it needs close watching once it is on the heat.
Its one evolved recipe is Chum, where each centipede adds 1 to the mix.
These dishes take the Centipede as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
| Dish | Hunger Restored | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Chum | 1 | - |
Farming
As trap bait, a Centipede gives a 50 percent chance to attract a bird.
Trapped animals it lures as bait.
| Animal | Attraction |

| Bird | 50% |
Storage

Locations
Centipedes are found by foraging on natural ground such as grass, sand and gravel. They are equally common in every foraging zone. They turn up from March through November, and are less common in March and April. The Fisherman occupation and the Angler trait both make them easier to spot.
Notes
- Always cook a centipede first, because a raw one can make the character sick.
- A centipede is a good bird bait, at 50 percent attraction.
- The Fisherman occupation and the Angler trait help when foraging for them.
- Each one adds 20 unhappiness, so they are survival food only.
