—Spriteling, Wario World

Spideraticus is a gigantic spider boss whom Wario must defeat at the end of Beanstalk Way during the events of Wario World. Spideraticus is a large black spider with a brown abdomen. It wears a green military helmet on its head, partially obscuring its eyes, and wears combat boots on each of its feet. A bandage is present on top of both the helmet and its abdomen. The arena consists of a network of tree roots with Spideraticus's giant spider web taking up most of the stage. Wario cannot jump while on the web, so he must stay on the outside until an opportunity to attack arises.

Spideraticus uses five attacks during its boss fight:

  1. A close-ranged bite attack. Spideraticus will only use this attack if Wario is close.
  2. A thin, transparent string of web shot at Wario. If it connects, it will pull Wario into range of its bite attack. To avoid damage, the player must dash to break the silk.
  3. A shockwave attack that must be jumped over. When Spideraticus has two or less health skulls remaining, it adds another, faster shockwave.
  4. Homing bursts fired at Wario. The lower Spideraticus's health, the more bursts are shot. The final shot always remains for a longer time.
  5. Five Glue Globes shot out of its mouth and sucked back in one by one. This provides Wario with the only opening to attack the boss by latching onto one of the Glue Globes, jumping off of it when Spideraticus sucks it in, and Ground Pounding Spideraticus's vulnerable top.

Spideraticus is the second of the three bosses of Thrillsville, preceded by the Winter Windster and succeeded by Red-Brief J.
