Centipedes: Though their name suggests a hundred legs, they actually have an odd number of pairs, typically ranging from 15 to 171.

Millipedes: These creatures are known for their many legs, though they don't always reach a thousand. They can have anywhere from 30 to 400 legs.

Crabs: While not all have more than ten, larger crabs like spider crabs can boast a leg count well into the double digits.

Lobsters: Similar to crabs, lobsters have multiple pairs of legs, including claws.

Scorpions: While they might not seem like it, scorpions have eight legs, just like spiders. However, their pincers are modified front legs.

Sea Spiders: These aren't true spiders but marine arthropods. They have four pairs of legs, but some species have additional ones.

Woodlice: These small, segmented creatures have seven pairs of legs, totaling 14.
