The '''Electripede''' ({{j|デジゲジ|Deji Geji|Electric Centipede}}) is an enemy found in ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]''. It is a centipede-like enemy made up of three body segments, each with two pairs of legs. When struck, it stops in place and starts emitting electric sparks that light up the area nearby. This can be used to make [[Bloominous Stemple]]s bloom. | The '''Electripede''' ({{j|デジゲジ|Deji Geji|Electric Centipede}}) is an enemy found in ''[[Hey! Pikmin]]''.
