| abstract | - Darantula (a.k.a. the "Barbed Beast of Fog") is an optional boss in Patapon 2 and Patapon 3. It is the stronger cousin of Centura and is thus extremely similar in appearance and fighting style. Physically, Darantula has barbs on its legs instead of stripes, a spikier tail, odd disc-like structures on its knees and a purple and pink color scheme (as opposed to Centura's yellow and orange). The spots on its main body also happen to resemble a grinning, skull-like face, although this may be coincidental. Its two eyes appear scarred and "X"-shaped and the other two are normal. Darantula is a large spider that releases poison and has a long sting tail like Centura. Darantula lives in the Dachara Ruins, unlocked with the discovery of the Blank Map on Mt. Gonrok. Like Centura, it is only visible in the rain, so the Rain or Storm Juju or Piekron's Rain Dance Set Skill is necessary to battle it. It is sensitive to fire, it can be put to sleep and it is prone to staggering, but its small size and high mobility makes it difficult to hit-especially for melee units. Darantula usually drops Level 2-5 fangs, although the drop rates are extremely random, even for a boss.
