Gnarantula

A Gnarantula is a cloud-covered arachnid found in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.

The cloud hides the monsterâ€™s body; when attacked, a Gnarantulaâ€™s true form will be revealed. In fact, there are two types of Gnarantulas: the green, spiked Gnarantula and the orange, spike-less Gnarantula. As the cloud conceals its body, it is unwise to Jump on a Gnarantula until its true form has been revealed. Otherwise, one might accidentally be damaged by the green Gnarantulaâ€™s spikes. Of course, the orange variety can be jumped on. To attack, a Gnarantula will jump then jump again in mid-air, eventually falling to the ground and crushing an opponent. This attack can be countered with a Hammer strike. Gnarantulas live in the clouds high above Yoshi's Island.
