The Giant Spider[1] (alternatively known as Spider in the official BradyGames guide[2]) is a giant one-eyed spider mini-boss in the area Fungi Forest in Donkey Kong 64. The spider is fought by Tiny Kong. It attacks by sending smaller spiders toward Tiny and also by shooting webbing that either temporarily reverses the game's controls or freezes Tiny. Tiny can damage the spider by hitting its open eye with her feather bow. After being hit multiple times, the spider will fall to the ground, shrink into a normal spider enemy and try to charge into Tiny. A few simple hits will destroy the shrunken spider. After the Giant Spider is defeated, a Golden Banana will appear before Tiny.

Trivia
- Although the creature is a spider, it has only six legs.
- The attacks the Giant Spider uses, as well as the Giant Spider's general appearance, can be based on the Donkey Kong Country 3 boss, Arich.
- When the spider spits webs at Tiny, it has no way of knowing where she is, as it is asleep.
