| | The '''Spider''' 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 in place. Tiny can damage the Spider by hitting its eye with her [[Feather Bow|feather bow]] when it opens it. 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 it 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 spiderweb below the Giant Spider, who then wakes up and drops from its resting spot on the ceiling, dangling from a thin spiderweb string. It summons three Small Spiders to attack Tiny before returning to sleep. As Tiny is being chased by Small Spiders, the Giant Spider spits out one of two types of obstacles, red webbing or green phlegm, both of 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 it can be damaged from Tiny shooting at its eye from her [[Feather Bow]]. After a fifth hit, the Giant Spider spins around, falls off 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 a [[Golden Banana]]. | |

| | *Although the creature is a spider, it only has six legs. |
| | *The attacks the Spider uses, as well as the Spider's general appearance, could be based on the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' boss, [[Arich]]. |
| | *When the spider spits webs at Tiny, it has no way of knowing where she is, as it is asleep. |
