Deeler

Deeler, a spider, was an enemy present in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. They were venomous creatures who resided primarily in the wooded areas of Hyrule. The two varieties of Deeler, red and blue, would attack their victims, notably Link, by dropping down from a thin, silky thread, due to impatience of waiting for prey to come to them. However, while the red Deeler would retreat to it's web after attack, the blue Deeler would continue to stay on the ground, hopping around to effectively kill it's target. The sword and arrows were both both effective in defeating the arachnids, but the blue Deeler could withstand more hits.
