Not exactly sure if this is a reference or not, but the episode "Monster Buddies" is similar to an episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (the anime based off the video game series), I think it's called "Kirby's Pet Peeve". In both episodes, the main character gets a "pet" (would you consider the centipeedle as pet when it regenerated?) that is supposed to be a villain (in Kirby's case, it was a robotic toy dog manufactured by the villain), and in the end of the episodes, the "pet" sacrifices their life for the main character.
