Multipedal Mobility Units are a part of the Lorica Standards as pertain to design profiles for Mobility Units for Lorica-compatible vehicles. While not nearly as common in military service as Bipedal MUs, multipedal MUs remain popular in certain specialist model designs (such as the Thoth, a well-known line of hexapods) as well as in some civilian applications.

Multipedal MU designs share a close relationship with the more common Bipedal MUs, but also have a wide variety of differences, beyond simply containing a larger number of legs. These units tend to have greater mechanical simplicity in the individual legs while suffering from greater complexity in the arrangement of the central "hip" segment of their design, where they attach to the Core Module. While most units allow some degree of "boost" capability, allowing for thruster-assisted vertical movements, many do not, and even those that do are often not as capable in this regard as their Bipedal counterparts; the same is also true of tractor-dash features, which many simply do not provide at all.

Where multipedal MU designs really shine is in situations where the terrain is especially unpredictable, or when exceptional stability is required in the resulting platform. Some are even variable geometry, converting to a more stable form when not underway. Accordingly, production models using Multipedal MUs are often of the Battery Type or even Scout Type.
