+A '''Spindel'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> is a type of [[Grindel]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It is a cylindrical creature made of stone that continuously rolls over the same stretch of territory. Its name comes from "spindle", which is the part of a spinning wheel that holds the yarn that is being spun. A Spindel also resembles a giant cylinder with a thread of yarn spun around it but with a face.
-'''Spindels''' are a sub-species of [[Thwomp]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are cylindrical creatures made of stone that attack by rolling into targets.
+Enemies with similar functions to Spindels, called [[Rhomp]]s, appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

-In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Spindels appear as mummified rolling Thwomps with demonic grins and malicious eyes that try to run over [[Mario]] and cause damage to the plumber. A Spindel only appears inside the [[Pyramid]] of the course [[Shifting Sand Land]], where it can be found rolling back and forth in a section of the pyramid. There is a safe spot where Mario can hide, so he can avoid being squished. Its closest relative is the [[Grindel]].

+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]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] can hide to avoid being squished, though if one of them does get squished, he loses three wedges from his [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]].
