Ōmukade

Ōmukade (大百足, おおむかで, "giant centipede") is a yōkai in Japanese mythology.

The Ōmukade is a giant man-eating centipede that lives in the mountains.

A giant centipede or mukade was killed near Lake Biwa by Fujiwara no Hidesato (aka Tawara Tōda Hidesato, "Rice bag Tōda") according to the legendary tale Tawara Tōda Monogatari.

While crossing the bridge over the lake,[a] Tawara was besought by a giant serpent to avenge the killer of her sons and grandsons.

[b] This centipede made its lair at Mount Mikami nearby.
