DescriptionEdit

The Centura has a body structure that resembles an orange and yellow three-legged spider-scorpion hybrid, with a pouch-like main body, four round eyes on stalks, and a scorpion's tail. It is normally invisible, save for a faint outline and distortion in the air. It cannot be harmed in this state, but rain will expose it and leave it vulnerable, so always bring the Rain Miracle and use it or you will not be able to deal damage to him. In Patapon 2, use the Yaripon Hero to deal damage. It can even reach up to 100+.

It is easily stunned by prolonged attacks of any kind, but ranged attacks seem to work best. The in-game tips suggest fire and attack his head. Melee attacks are ineffective, as Centura is relatively fast and prone to jumping. However, a Kibapon squadron, when used effectively, can induce multiple staggers at a time. However, maintaining proper range can be hard. Its head is it's weak point, but attacks will nearly always hit the legs.

The Centura usually drops Level 1-5 Fangs (with better items becoming frequent at higher levels), and is very varied when it staggers. On or around level five, it will drop the Duck N' Cover Juju. He also drops Fah Zakpon's cap at level 3.

AttacksEdit

Tail SlamEdit

Centura will raise its tail in the sky out of sight for a few seconds, then it will slam it into the ground. PonPata seems to be effective, but the damage is small, so defending is a decent option as well. Toripons are usually in danger when the Centura uses this move.

Sleepy SprayEdit

Centura's head swells up as it points its stinger at itself. It quickly stabs its own head with its stinger, releasing gooey sludge that can put Patapons to sleep and poison them. The damage is nearly nonexistent, but the sleep and poison effect leaves your forces open for attack. Initially, ChakaChaka is the best you can do, but the PonPata song is a great way to evade this attack. Later still, the DonChaka song can negate the sleep and poison entirely. If the Centura's stinger is broken it will not use this move.

AbsorbEdit

Centura will straighten its stinger then points it at a Patapon to absorb it. About a measure later, Centura stabs its victim and absorbs its body fluid. After 2 seconds or so, the Patapon will be completely drained, resulting in instant death (Hero and Uberhero won't be able to revive, although a Djinn will compensate for this). Staggering it is a must at the first encounter, as retreating isn't possible at that point in the game and defense does nothing against it. A Hero Yaripon can stagger it, if it has a good Cnc Ratio. If the Centura's stinger is broken it will not use this move. Also, you can do anything to mix up your formation (jumping, retreating, etc.) because Centura will still point the stinger at a certain spot, instead of following your Patapons.

Tail SlideEdit

Centura, starting at Level 10, will use this formerly Darantula-exclusive attack. It bends its stinger backward behind its body then holds it near the ground, pointing at your army, before sliding its tail across the ground, stabs and pierces it through your Patapons. The damage is high enough to send normal Patapons to a swift death, but by now, you should probably have the DonDon song, which is the only way to fully avoid the attack. PonPata is useless, as Centura's tail is very long, and will reach up to PonPata's maximum retreat range.

Patapon 3Edit

Centura is a rare boss in Patapon 3. It has the same attacks, but now they can inflict Poison damage. Like all bosses, it can go into Rage Mode, where it attacks without warning. You must equip the Set Skill Rain Dance. If not, it's invulnerable, like in Patapon 2. Centura appears on the Plateau of Pompous Wings in the rare boss mission Centura of the Mist. Your team must be at least level 20, or Centura will wipe your entire team out with just a few attacks, as it's much stronger than in Patapon 2.

TriviaEdit

• If Hero or Uberhero is killed by Centura's Absorption, he cannot be revived in the battle. However, your Uberhero can still be revived if you summon a Djinn.
• It is possible to break Centura's spike, although as Centura has very little health, it will usually die before you have time to break it. If the spike is broken, it loses almost all its moves, and retains only Tail Slam and Tail Slide, if it is level 10 or above. In Patapon 3, it is easier to break it's spike with equipment that has attack bonuses against shells like the Crablessa set which can only be used by Myamsar .
• Centura is one of the few bosses that appear in the weather conditions of fog. (The other two are Majidonga and Darantula).
• Centura and its stronger cousin, Darantula, might be Patapon's second tallest boss if the tail was extended, the tallest are Gigantus, Gigante King, and Terantus of the Giants Family.
• Centura is the weakest rare boss in Patapon 3.
• Centura always appears in the fog, except for the Patagate in Patapon 2.
• In Patapon 3, Darantula (now a DLC boss) is said to be a blood sucking plant, although it looks exactly like a typical arachnid (it is an arachnid). However, if Darantula is one, then Centura might also be as well.
