The centipede, s, is a monster in NetHack. They are extremely slow, and not a significant threat despite their poisonous bite.

Encyclopaedia entry

I observed here, what I had often seen before, that certain
districts abound in centipedes.  Here they have light
reddish bodies and blue legs; great myriapedes are seen
crawling every where.  Although they do no harm, they excite
in man a feeling of loathing.  Perhaps our appearance
produces a similar feeling in the elephant and other large
animals.  Where they have been much disturbed, they
certainly look upon us with great distrust, as the horrid
biped that ruins their peace.
