==History==
===''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon''===
Spiders make their debut in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. In this game, when [[Luigi]] uses the Strobulb on a spider, it drops one [[coin]], except during [[Confront the Source]], in which spiders yield no coins, as they can respawn. Gold spiders can often be found after inspecting certain pieces of furniture. However, they tend to disappear if ignored for too long. If Luigi uses the Strobulb on a gold spider, it drops one [[Gold Bar]].  Spiders usually appear in groups of two to five, and gold spiders usually appear in groups of two to three after Luigi finds them. A large spider known as a '''spider queen''' is possessed by the [[Grouchy Possessor]], serving as the boss of the [[Gloomy Manor]].

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
Spiders and gold spiders reappear in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. Rather than being red, spiders in this game resemble {{wp|Latrodectus|black widow}}s. Additionally, regular spiders drop multiple [[bill]]s when defeated, and gold spiders drop Gold Bars as well as coins.
