Anonster,[1] also known as the Spider Boss,[2] is of of the bosses in Wario Land 3. Anonster is a colossal spider with three eyes and a circular pattern mark on its back. Its eyes turn red every time it spews webs from its mouth. Anonster is located in Out of the Woods, inside the giant tree that is only accessible after the Gold Magic is obtained from Castle of Illusions.
When Wario first enters the top of the tree where Anonster is, it hangs and move around by a thread. While moving around the ceiling, Anonster spews a clump of web that slowly floats down until it becomes a ball of web on the ground. If Wario touches the web while it is floating, he turns into Ball o' String Wario and uncontrollably roll out of the tree. Anonster does not spit clumps of webs while there is an existing ball of web, which Wario can pick up if it is on the ground and stun Anonster by throwing the ball at it. It will then jump to the floor in its attempt to pounce on Wario, and then crawl along the floor while spewing webs that can turn Wario into Ball o' String Wario. If the web hits Wario or it spat webs twice on the ground, it will jump up and Wario must throw a ball of web to bring it down again. While Anonster is on the ground, Wario can use a Smash Attack on the circular pattern on its back to damage it. In its second and third phases, it spits out two and three clumps of webs respectively while it is hanging near the ceiling, in addition to being faster. After the third Smash Attack on its back, Anonster will be defeated and three web platforms will descend, allowing Wario to reach the Blue Chest that contains the last of the five music boxes.
