Larry the Scobster

Larry is a recurring enemy in the 1995 game Apeiron X, a remake of the 1980 arcade game ''Centipede. ''The game describes him as an unholy hybrid of a scorpion and a lobster.

Behavior
Larry is commonly seen as one of the most annoying and infuriating enemies in the game, as he appears from the sides of the playing field (alerted by a growl) and moves across it. He then makes a zigzag pattern across the field, eating mushrooms and getting in the player's way. He will attack with his pincers and tail and can instantly kill the player.

If killed, he will screech and explode in a burst of green blood, usually resulting in 300 points.

Appearance
Larry appears as a red lobster with a scorpion tail and pincers. He stares out with two large, yellow eyes with black pupils. When killed, he becomes a splat of green blood.
