The Barrel Spider is an Emblem Heartless found in Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

DesignEdit

Simple and straightforward, the bodies of Barrel Spiders are composed of an ordinary wooden brown barrel, which enables them, when at rest, to blend in with environments that contain barrels. Depending on the world, the Barrel Spider's body will take on a different shade to better camouflage itself in the environment. When a Barrel Spider is struck, four purple and pale pink legs that end in sharp talons burst from the sides; a fifth piece also chips away to reveal a sinister glowing yellow eye that allows whatever resides within the barrel to see where it is going. The Barrel Spider has a relative, the Pot Spider, with a similar appearance and behavior.

The Barrel Spider gets its name from resembling a wooden barrel with typical spider-like legs protruding from holes in the sides.

StrategyEdit

Kingdom HeartsEdit

Before showing their true form as a Heartless, attacking a suspected barrel with magic can reveal whether or not it is a Barrel Spider.

Because of their explosive properties, it's best to avoid close range battles with them; and instead use Fire or Blizzard magic on them. However, Sora can use their explosive properties to his advantage, to stun groups of enemies.

Trembles and self-destructs. May also run and self-destruct.
Hits opponents and other Heartless.
Guard: Repellable = Can be blocked and interrupted ; Returnable = Can be blocked and deflected back ; Preventable = Blockable by Goofy's shield only.

Kingdom Hearts Chain of MemoriesEdit

In Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories Barrel Spiders pose as regular barrels until they are touched with the Keyblade. The best way to reveal them without going into battle mode is to compare them to other barrels, or alternatively, smash the barrels with an explosive barrel. Barrel Spiders are usually slightly darker than regular barrels. In battle, Barrel Spiders use cards numbered 4 to self-detonate. It's best to card break their cards immediately, so that they don't get the chance to explode, taking away the chance to earn Experience.

Collecting Barrel Spider's Enemy Card is very tricky, especially with Re:Chain of Memories due to the destroyed props not returning upon re-entering that room. Therefore it is recommended to synthesize at least two rooms, preferably with a higher ratio to obtain one. Then after eliminating the other enemies and avoid destroying the barrels, save, and then through resetting, keep repeating the process on the barrels to find a Barrel Spider.

The best strategy is while in Olympus Coliseum, Agrabah, or Monstro, use card combos and Sleights right away, with the best choice being Mega Flare to beat them quick.
