Spider

Spiders are enemies that appear in the original Crash Bandicoot game and as an obstacles in Crash Team Racing. They are large black, red, yellow, and dark purple spiders with eight legs that inhabit dark areas and ancient ruins. In both games, they attack by descending from the ceiling on their web every few seconds, and then rising back out of view.

Crash Bandicoot
In Crash Bandicoot, the spiders appear in the ancient ruins levels: (Temple Ruins, Jaws of Darkness, and a dark level: Fumbling in the Dark) where they can be found in various places throughout the levels. The spiders can be defeated by Crash's spinning or by jumping.

Crash Team Racing
They appear in the Cortex Castle race track as obstacles in Crash Team Racing. When they are descending from the ceiling in this game, their shadow can be seen, which gives the racers a heads up when they are dropping. In Crash Team Racing they can be defeated by some items like bombs, or missiles.

Crash Nitro Kart
There is a pink spider visible on the wall of the cave in Inferno Island as background decoration.

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
Spiders reappears as enemies in the N. Sane Trilogy remake of the first game, where they reprise the same role they had in the original version.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
Spiders reappear in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled where they reprise the same role that they had in the original version of Crash Team Racing. Additionally, differently-colored spiders make an appearance inside the lava cave on Inferno Island track.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
Spiders appear as enemies in the first level of the game, Rude Awakening. They hang from the ceiling in the ruins areas, and drop down on web strands to attack Crash/Coco if they stay under them for too long. Green venom drips from their fangs, leaving a small puddle of it on the ground beneath them. They can be defeated by jumping and spinning at them, or simply avoided.

Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!
In On the Run!, there are two distinct varieties of spider. The first is a white spider with blue markings, which crawls along the floor in a straight line towards the player and can be defeated with a spin, slide or bodyslam. The second is a black spider with red markings, which hangs down from the ceiling on a web. These spiders cannot be defeated with normal attacks, but they can be blown up by detonating TNT or Nitro crates. One variety of gem challenge involves destroying every spider in a level.
