Spindel

A Spindel is a sub-species of Thwomps coming from Super Mario 64. Spindel appears as a mummified rolling Thwomp with a demonic grin and malicious eyes that tries to run over Mario, and cause damage to the plumber. Spindel only appears inside the Pyramid of the course Shifting Sand Land, where it can be found rolling back and forth in a section of the pyramid. There is a safe spot where Mario can hide, so he can avoid being squished. Its closest relative is the Grindel. Spindel also appears in the Nintendo DS' remake Super Mario 64 DS. Spindels will reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
