A '''Spindel'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 12 & 71</ref> is a type of [[Thwomp]] that appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is a cylindrical creature made of stone that continuously rolls over the same stretch of territory. It is similar in appearance to [[Grindel]]s. The name "Spindel" comes from the word ''spindle'', which is the part of a spinning wheel that holds the yarn that is being spun. Spindel also resembles a giant cylinder with a thread of yarn spun around it, but with a face.

A lone Spindel appears exclusively in the [[Shifting Sand Land#Inside the Pyramid|pyramid]] of [[Shifting Sand Land]], where it can be found rolling back and forth in one section of the pyramid. There is a safe spot where [[Mario]] can hide to avoid being squished, though if he does get squished, he loses three sections of his [[Health Meter]].
