Tarantula

Spider are a brand of badniks created by Dr. Eggman in the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World. Exclusively found in the Wii U version of Silent Forest on Sonic Lost World, these enemies are robotic spider-based badniks.

Physical Appearance
Based off of brown widow spider, the Spider badniks are mostly brown with orange stripes. It has gray legs, covered with brown and orange stripes on each leg. It has magenta-colored eyes and its robotic web string is colored cyan.

Attack Pattern
Spider badniks will cling from above via robotic web strings. The badnik cannot be destroy by a simple Homing Attack at first; a Flying Kick attack is required to knock the badnik off of its web string. If successful, the badnik will fall, giving the butterfly trapped inside the badnik a chance to escape if the player, who controls Sonic the Hedgehog, uses a charged Homing Attack on the butterfly case. One hit is required to release the butterfly, but the Spider badniks are quick to get up and return upward, having the player to start over their attack strategy once again.

Trivia

 * These badniks have been noted to be very similar to Grabber badniks, which first debuted in the Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
