Spider

Spiders are a recurring species within the Donkey Kong series which have appeared as both enemies and allies on certain occasions. They have many sub-species that have appeared throughout the series and each one varies in size and appearance. Despite the different physical appearance of each Spider sub-species, they are all portrayed in every game as having only six legs rather than eight like on Earth, however Squitter and Arich are the only exception to this rule as they actually have eight legs.
