Physiology[]
Whirlipede is a large arthropod Pokémon that resembles a curled-up centipede. Its rolled-up body is segmented. It is mainly purple and black with long spine-like appendages on its front and lower body. Its body is covered in smaller purple spikes. In the center of its body is its large yellow eye. It has light purple scales; on these scales are small red circles. Its curled-up body gives it the appearance of a tire. Storing energy for evolution, it sits. But, when predators approach, it moves to stab then with poison spikes.
