Recognize it and read the attack
A pale head-shaped spider.
Leaps toward Isaac over a greater distance than a Hopper.
What makes it dangerous
A quiet pause can precede a large change in position.
A suggested response
- Move away from the landing lane as it commits.
- Leave more space than you would for a small Hopper.
Check the other enemies before committing to this response. Obstacles, your weapon and your character can change the safest angle.
The mistake to avoid
Moving close during its pause between jumps.
Follow the landing lane as well as the current position.
Compare the family
A shared family does not guarantee the same attack or death effect.
