Whirlipede is an insectoid Pokémon encased in a hard, segmented shell. It has two pairs of gray, horn-like feelers with dark gray stripes, with one pair extended upward from its front and the other pointing downward from its lower rear. Two poisonous barbs flank either side of each segment of its shell. The shell itself is gray, with red rings in the middle of each segment and a darker gray border circling its open center. Whirlipede's eyes can be seen within the center, and have slitted pupils, yellow sclerae, and thick, gray eyelids. Whirlipede remains motionless while storing energy for evolution, but will move to stab approaching predators with its poisonous spikes. If attacked, it can quickly spin its body like a wheel and crash furiously into opponents.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Whirlipede is the only mid-staged Bug type that is not based on a cocoon.
* In [[Generation V]], Whirlipede and its evolutionary relatives have {{a|Quick Feet}} instead of {{a|Speed Boost}} as their Hidden Ability. If a Whirlipede with Quick Feet is transferred from Generation V to Generation VI using the [[Poké Transporter]], its Ability will become Speed Boost.


===Origin===
===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
Whirlipede, like its [[species]] states, is based on a {{wp|centipede}}. However, its rolled up appearance and color scheme is more similar to that of an {{wp|oniscidea}} or {{wp|oniscomorpha}}. When in danger, these arthropods in these two orders will curl up into a ball. It also resembles a car tire.
