'''Piders''' are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They live in [[the Great Tree]] and are the only known natural predators 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|Scuttle Bug]]s, Piders have round bodies and suction cups on their feet. In the [[Glitz Pit]], a Pider appears as one of the members of [[The Mind-Bogglers]]. They also have stronger relatives known as [[Arantula]]s in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

When Mario is leading the Punies, if a Pider is nearby several Punies will be frightened and run off, prompting Mario to defeat the Piders to move on.
