Name: Tarantox
Debut: Super Mario Galaxy
How can you not love this big cartoon bug? Tarantox is a big spider (?) boss that appears in Space Junk Galaxy. Though, with their wings and six legs, they look more like a fly to me... Let’s just go with space trash bug. Tarantox is just chilling out in a web planet when Mario rudely interrupts them. Rightfully upset, they spew uh, goop at you. Acid? I’m gonna say acid.
But wait! They have yet another starring role! In the Minecraft/Mario mashup pack, Tarantox replaces Cave Spiders. Naturally, because Minecraft is popular with young people, they should be making it big! I really get the impression that the people behind this crossover liked weird Mario enemies as well.
Their Japanese name translates to Spider King, but their Spanish name translates to Spider Queen... what is the truth?
