Spider enemy line

From Golden Sun Universe
(Redirected from Tarantula)
Spider as they appear in Dark Dawn.

The Spider, Tarantula, and Recluse are enemies that are randomly fought throughout each game in the Golden Sun series. These monsters, resembling real-life tarantulas, are palette swaps of each other that have differing levels of power and defense and are fought in different locations in the games.

In Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Spider

Spider.png

A Spider (スパイダー) is a normal-sized variant with a yellowish-orange abdomen and red legs, and it is level 8 in Golden Sun and level 11 in The Lost Age. In Golden Sun, Spiders are found in Tret Tree. In The Lost Age, they are only fought in Yampi Desert.

Spiders are generally "small" enemies in where they are fought in both games, being weaker, slower, and less durable than most of the random monsters that are also fought in their areas.

A Spider is especially likely to be affected by Stun-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Tarantula

Tarantula.png

A Tarantula (タランチュラ) is a normal-sized level 13 variant with a yellowish-green abdomen and light green legs. In Golden Sun, they can be fought in the lower levels of Altin Peak.

Even though its attack rating is practically as high as a Rat Warrior, the Tarantula is still weaker than other monsters in the other statistical areas, so it should not be difficult to deal even with large groups of these with area-of-effect offensive Psynergy.

A Tarantula is especially likely to be affected by Stun-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Enemy ability where a glowing green image of a pair of jaws chomps at the position of a targeted Adept once. Deals a Venus-aligned standard physical attack, and there is a chance that the target will be afflicted with Poison.


Recluse

Recluse.png

A Recluse (ポイズンスパイダー Poison Spider) is a larger level 27 variant with a violet abdomen and dark blue legs. Recluses can be fought in the later "dungeon" portion of Venus Lighthouse as one of the "final" random monsters of Golden Sun.

The Recluse continues the theme of its two predecessors, being the statistically lowest of the monsters in the area it is fought randomly throughout. It is certainly the easiest to deal with, even though you might fight rather large amounts of them at a time.

A Recluse is especially likely to be affected by Stun-inducing effects. Its statistics are as follows:

Name HP PP Attack Defense Agility Luck
