Gnarantulas are a type of enemy found in the clouds of Yoshi's Island in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They can only be battled with Baby Mario and Baby Luigi.
Description[]
Gnarantulas have four visible legs, antennae, yellow eyes, and fangs. Initially, their bodies are hidden in clouds. Hitting them causes the cloud cover to dissipate, revealing either a green body with spies or a red body without spikes.
Battle[]
When in battle with a Gnarantula, they will start out in a cloud form. Hitting them with an attack will cause their cloud to disappear and reveal a different form. They are revealed to be either green with spikes on top (which means they are immune to jumps), or red with no spikes. The green Gnarantula has a weakness to fire attacks, while the red Gnarantula has a weakness to ice attacks.
In addition to fighting alongside more of their kind, Gnarantulas can also be fought alongside Pidgits. If they are hit with a First Strike from jumping, Gnarantulas will be unmasked and take damage even if they are all green.
Gnarantulas attack by jumping and falling onto their opponent. Baby Mario or Baby Luigi can counter this using the Hammer.

Behind the Scenes[]
Gnarantulas is a portmanteau of the words "gnaw" and "tarantula," despite them bearing a closer resemblance to ants.
