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]].
