Must have been outside at some point before you got it. Looks like some sort of caterpillar and they eat leaves if I’m not mistaken so it has to go. Bye Felecia!

To me it definitely looks like a centipede/ millipede. I’d definitely still get rid of it though!

Centipede. The soil is too wet. Growing fungus. Can attract unwanted insects like fungus gnats. I would let the soil dry out more between watering.
