Arachnes are an enemy in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

They have a yellow and black-striped body, and their appearance resembles that of a real tarantula.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[]

Arachnes are only encountered in Rose Way.

Battle[]

In battle, Arachnes mainly attack with physical moves or with their sole special move, Venom Drool, which may poison one of Mario's party members.

Strategy[]

Arachnes are weak against Ice, so Mallow's Snowy move is effective against them. However, considering that Snowy is learned later than when Rose Way is first accessed, such an opportunity is unlikely. Bringing Able Juices can help in case a party member becomes poisoned.
