Tarantula
Webs an attacker and forces one eligible item to drop.
Tarantula retaliates with a web and a forced item drop. It is a response to an attacker, with a two-second hold that matters differently from a pet that simply patrols for intruders.
How to get Tarantula
Find a wild Tarantula in Ghoul Garden and buy it with Candy Corn before it disappears. The event world is reached through Explorer Ethan; it has a separate currency from Garden Valley.

How the ability works
The reported web holds for 2 seconds and forces one eligible item to drop. Listed examples include fruit, seeds, eggs, sprinklers, gnomes and crates; eligibility is not proof that every item can drop.
The Normal ability cooldown is 5 minutes, Big 2 minutes 30 seconds and Mega 1 minute 40 seconds. A victim is reported to receive 30 seconds of web immunity.

When is Tarantula worth equipping?
An upgrade mainly shortens how long you wait for the next activation. The reported drop is one eligible item, so judge it as a focused disruption rather than a way to empty another player’s whole inventory.
Victim immunity and cooldown limit repeated webs. The list of eligible item examples does not prove that every item category can drop or that each activation returns the exact item you wanted.
- Upgrades improve how soon a later retaliation can happen, rather than the reported one-item amount.
- A dropped item still needs to be recovered. Do not assume the attacker loses every valuable item or that it enters your backpack automatically.
Trading status
Current player-to-player transfer availability has not been independently verified for this pet. No trading value is used as an in-game purchase price.
