The Gargantulas pull in their prey and strike for a lot of damage unless the Skylander can break free.

In Skylanders: Giants, Gargantulas reappear in The Oracle. In the Trial of Courage: Spiders, a single, much larger Gargantula appears. Later, in the Trial of Heart: Big Fish, several smaller Gargantulas are encountered.
