Template:Species-infobox Spiders are a species of eight-legged creatures in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Spiders are orange and black in color, with six legs and a pair of fang-like structures and three eyes. Despite this, they appear bipedal. Their main legs are covered in spikes, and their bodies are divided into three sections, a very non-spiderlike trait, though, despite this, they still resemble real world spiders. After their cutscene plays, the background music will change to a piano solo. Spiders are defeated by punching their center eye twenty times. Once defeated, a spider will explode. Despite being enemies, they techically do not attack, though they can damage Donkey Kong if he runs into their spiky legs.

Their first appearance is in the Lemon Kingdom's level Cactus Mine. Here, it appears near the end of the level. They appear a second time near the end of Battle for Storm Hill. However, here it has blue Ninjapes throwing down ninja stars between its legs, at DK, and the background music changes to a more dramatic piano solo. The spider's movements are also faster. The third and final time they appear is in Star Fruit Kingdom's level Asteriod Belt. Here, they appear on an ice planet, with several small, round ice enemies.
