-'''Gnarantulas''' are cloud-covered arachnids found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', found in the skies or caves in [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. Their name is a pun on gnaw, ant and tarantula. 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''' are cloud-covered arachnids found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', found in the skies or caves in [[Yoshi's Island (place)|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 [[Lakitu]]s and [[Spiny|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).
