Mario & Luigi

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

Battle[]

When a 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.

Gnarantulas attack by jumping and falling onto their opponent. Baby Mario or Baby Luigi can counter this using the Hammer.
