'''Skulltulas''' are a recurring species of giant spider, usually found hanging by a silk thread. Their most prominent feature is their tough, skull-patterned carapace, earning them their name. Their real eyes are not those of the skull, but found down below on their actual heads. Usually, their underbelly is softer and weaker than their backs. | '''Skulltulas''' are a recurring species of giant spider, usually found hanging by a silk thread.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Skulltulas are common enemies in narrow halls and occasional enemies in large open rooms, first being found along with several variants [[inside the Deku Tree]]. Unlike most enemies, they are unrestricted by biome and as such appear in many regions. They hang by their string near the ceiling, descending rapidly when [[Link]] approaches. In some cases, they seem to come through the ceiling itself if the room is short enough. A few are also invisible, requiring the [[Lens of Truth]] to see. If Link gets too close to one, it rapidly spins, knocking him away while damaging him. When left alone, they slowly flip between showing their backs and bellies. Child Link's non-explosive items cannot damage a Skulltula from the back, so he must time his attack to hit the belly while not getting too close. Adult Link's [[Hookshot]] will paralyze it briefly on the back, and [[arrow]]s will defeat it regardless of side. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Skulltulas are common enemies in narrow halls and occasional enemies in large open rooms, first being found along with several variants [[inside the Deku Tree]].

Unlike normal Skulltulas, the face on their back is indeed their actual face. Attacking their belly will stun them while eliciting a pained wail. Once the stun wears off, they will attack him once in retribution if he approaches again. | ||

One is the first normal enemy Link will encounter overall, appearing in [[Castle Town]]'s sewer. The [[Fairy Bow]] is found relatively early in the game, making it easier to pick them off from afar. Another cursed Skulltula hybrid is found in the [[Swamp Spider House]]. | ||

Skulltulas are made more dangerous and less common in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', though they are still an early-game introduction, being found in the [[Forest Temple]]. The first one shown appears dangling from a string, like before, but once approached, descends all the way to the ground and begins pursuing Link directly, likely to surprise players of the previous games. Later ones are sometimes also found dangling from threads at first, but also sometimes automatically on the ground, walking around. Getting them to expose their underbellies is much less simple due to their horizontal position and deliberate attacks, though a quick counterattack when one rears up | Skulltulas are made more dangerous and less common in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', though they are still an early-game introduction, being found in the [[Forest Temple]].
