-'''Piders''' are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They live in [[The Great Tree]] and are the only known natural predator of [[Puni]]es. As their name indicates, they are a spider-like creature, and just like everything else in the [[Boggly Woods]], Piders are monochrome in color. It has two attacks. The first one involves spitting a ball at Mario, dealing 2 damage. The second one involves it spitting out three webs in quick succession, each one taking away 1 HP from Mario's HP bar. Like [[Scuttlebug]]s, Piders have round bodies and suction cups on their feet. They also appear in the [[Glitz Pit]] as fighters, along with other enemies from Boggly Woods, and have stronger relatives known as [[Arantula]]s in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].
