'''Tarantox''' is one of the bosses in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is found wrapped up in a web inside the [[Space_Junk_Galaxy#Phantom_Boss_Spider_Zonea|Phantom Boss Spider Zone]] in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]. Its name is a portmanteau of the words ''tarantula'' and ''toxic''. The music while fighting Tarantox is the same as while fighting [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]].

[[Mario]] reaches it by using a [[Sling Pod]] to break the shell off of the Phantom Boss Spider Zone, revealing its web and the spider in a cocoon. Mario then must use another Sling Pod to tear the web and free the spider, then battle it.

In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Cave Spiders are replaced by Tarantox. Spider eyes are replaced by Tarantox's eyes.

==Appearance==
Tarantox resembles a combination of [[Spider (Yoshi's Story)|Spider]] from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and a [[Scuttlebug]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' It has three wide oval eyes, wings, and a [[Snifit]]-like mouth. Its feet are similar to suction cups. It has horizontal stripes on its body and five glowing buttons on its sides, one much larger than the others. It attacks Mario by flailing its legs around and spitting acid from its smaller buttons. It also has three large buttons on its underside, which Mario must pop.

==Battle==

This battle practices using Sling Pods. To defeat the spider, Mario must use Sling Pods and throw himself at the largest glowing button (the one on Tarantox's rear) to pop it. Mario can also sling himself at Tarantox's eyes, which will cause the boss to cover his face in pain, rendering him stunned for a very short period of time. The spider will fall upside down, revealing three more red bumps on its underbelly. If Mario pops all of them, the spider regains its feet and attacks faster. During the second round the side glowing buttons start blasting toxic liquid so it is harder for Mario to hit Tarantox. If Mario repeats the procedure one more time, Tarantox falls through its web and goes flying into space, revealing a [[Power Star]] which Mario has to use a Sling Pod to get to.

-'''Tarantox''' is one of the bosses in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', being a gigantic spider-like creature that is seemingly the leader of the [[Spoing]]s and [[Spangler]]s, though it does not resemble them beyond being striped and spider-like in a general sense.

-This battle makes extensive use of Sling Pods. To damage Tarantox, the player must use Sling Pods and throw himself at the largest glowing growth (the one on Tarantox's rear) to pop it. They can also sling Mario either at Tarantox's eyes or at the bumps on its side, which will cause the boss to cover its face in pain, rendering it stunned for a very short period of time. Once the player hits the growth on Tarantox's rear, the spider will fall upside down, revealing three more red bumps on its underbelly. Once all of them are popped, the spider regains its feet and attacks faster. During the second round, the side glowing buttons start blasting toxic liquid so it is harder to hit Tarantox, though like in the first round, popping them will both stun the spider and disable the toxic liquid. Once the player pops the red bumps on its underbelly once more, Tarantox is defeated, falls through its web, and goes flying into space, revealing a [[Power Star]] which must be collected using one of the Sling Pods.
