Arachne, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

An Arachne is a large, black and yellow arachnid with three red eyes. They resided in Rose Way during the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Arachnes are, physically, very powerful and have an enormously high defense rating at that point in the game. As such, these spiders can be a serious threat to adventurers. Despite being so strong, Arachnes never attack on their own; they always aid other monsters in battle and are never seen outside of battle. During a confrontation, the Arachne attacks by gouging its victim with two deadly fangs. The spider monster also knows the special attack Venom Drool, which allows the Arachne to poison and damage the opponent. Although physically strong, Arachnes are quite susceptible to most magic attacks.

The Arachne's Psychopath quote refers to the song "Day-O" (also known as "The Banana Boat Song") made popular by musician Harry Belafonte. The reference is, specifically, from this stanza from the song:

A beautiful bunch o' ripe banana
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and me wan' go home)
