Gnarantula

Gnarantulas are cloud-covered arachnids found in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, found in the skies or caves in Yoshi's Island. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "gnaw" and "tarantula," though they more closely resemble ants, having only four visible legs, sideways jaws, and two antennae. Only Baby Mario and Baby Luigi can encounter them. The cloud hides their body; when attacked, a Gnarantula's unmasked form is revealed. In fact, there are two types of Gnarantulas: the green, spiked Gnarantula and the red, spike-less Gnarantula. The green variety is vulnerable to fire attacks, while the red variety is vulnerable to ice. To attack, a Gnarantula jumps, then jumps again in mid-air, eventually falling to the ground and crushing an opponent. This attack can be countered with a Hammer. If there are 4 Gnaratulas with no other enemies, all the Gnaratulas to the right are green and all the Gnaratulas on the left are red. Gnarantulas seem to reference Lakitus and Spinies, with each of its three forms resembling the latter or the former in some way (red Gnarantulas resemble cloud-less Lakitus, green ones resemble Spinies, and the clouds they have look like the clouds on which Lakitus are often seen).
