Retrieved October 13, 2014.</ref> (alternatively known as '''Spider''' in the official BradyGames guide<ref>Tim Bocenn and Ken Schmidt. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Official Stategy Guide. Page 95.</ref>) is a giant one-eyed [[Spider (Donkey Kong 64)|spider]] mini-boss in the area [[Fungi Forest]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The spider is fought by [[Tiny Kong]]. It attacks by sending smaller spiders toward Tiny and also by shooting webbing that either temporarily reverses the game's controls or freezes Tiny. Tiny can damage the spider by hitting its open eye with her [[Feather Bow|feather bow]]. After being hit multiple times, the spider will fall to the ground, shrink into a normal spider enemy and try to charge into Tiny. A few simple hits will destroy the shrunken spider. After the Giant Spider is defeated, a [[Golden Banana]] will appear before Tiny. |

As a female, it is suggested to be the mother of the Small Spiders.<ref name=Prima/><ref name=Versus/> The Giant Spider is located in the mill of [[Fungi Forest]], which can be accessed only by [[Tiny Kong]] during the nighttime. The battle starts when Tiny walks on a large spider web below the Giant Spider, who then wakes up and drops from resting spot on the ceiling, dangling from a thin spider web string. It summons three Small Spiders to attack Tiny Kong before returning to sleep. As Tiny is being chased by Small Spiders, the Giant Spider spits out two types of obstacles, red webbing or green phlegm, which trap her in ice and reverse the {{button|N64|Stick}} directions, respectively. Since the Giant Spider is asleep, it cannot accurate spit at Tiny. The Giant Spider briefly wakes up after Tiny defeats the three Small Spiders, and can be damaged from Tiny shooting at its eye from her [[Feather Bow]]. After a fifth hit, the Giant Spider spins around, falls off of its string, crashes into the wall, and shrinks into a Small Spider, which can be defeated by Tiny easily. Following this, the Giant Spider falls on its back and disappears, then Tiny is awarded with a [[Golden Banana]]. | |
