The '''Silurian Millipedes''' are millipedes that lived during the [[Silurian]] period. They are apparently the prey of [[Silurian Scorpion]]s.

==Characteristics==
Silurian Millipedes are shaped the same as modern day millipedes, but have larger legs and can grow up to between one and three feet long. They roam in groups across the sand and are preyed upon by Silurian scorpions.{{Clear}}

==Incursions and encounters==
===[[Episode 2.5]]===
In a [[Silurian desert (Episode 2.5)|desert]] in the Silurian, [[Nick Cutter]] and [[Stephen Hart]] came across dozens of Silurian millipedes fleeing across the sand from a Silurian scorpion. Later, one millipede travelled through an [[Hackney Worksite - Silurian Desert Anomaly|Anomaly]] into the [[Present]], and was chased by [[Connor]] and [[Abby]] to a ball pool in a restaurant. Abby eventually caught the millipede and threw it back through the Anomaly before it closed.

==Trivia==
*The CGI model used for the Silurian Millipedes is the same one used for [[Arthropleura]]. Due to this (as well as a fan belief that the Silurian desert was located in Great Britain, which was inhabited by Eoarthropleura and [[Brontoscorpio]] during the Silurian), numerous fans believe that the Millipedes are Eoarthropleura; a Silurian ancestor of Arthropleura.
* The Silurian Millipede's sound (a high pitched squeaking noise) is the same sound effect used for the Silurian Scorpions, just with a slightly higher pitch.
