It burrows into the sand to hide. Perhaps another Bugsnak could dig it out... |

Pineantula is a spider-like Bugsnak resembling a pineapple. It appears in Simmering Springs.
Strategy[]
Pineantula is a rather timid Bugsnak. It spends most of its time burrowing through the sand, with only its top leaves showing. The player cannot directly dig it out, but if the Sauce Slinger is used to cover it in chocolate or peanut butter, any nearby Crapple will take interest, dig it up, and begin to carry it back to its lair. When the player approaches the Crapple, it will flee and drop the Pineantula, which will be in a daze, able to be captured with the Bug Net.
Upon entering Simmering Springs any time after Gramble has left, the Pineantula near Gramble's hammock will immediately bump into a Tropicabug and become dazed for a bit. By running there right after entering the area, this Pineantula can be caught with minimal effort.
Trivia[]
- While Pineantula's name is based on tarantulas, its burrowing behavior is based on trapdoor spiders.
- Interestingly, both of these spiders are in the infraorder of Mygalomorphae.
- Wiggle's quest name "Pen Pineapple!" is a reference to the song "Pen-Pinapple-Apple-Pen" by Pikotaro.
