When defeated, it will drop the Crystal Feather which can be returned for the bounty reward.

Spy Logs
Bestiary Sailors speak of an island in the far reaches of Metal Lake. An addicting beat drives them to explore its uncharted shores. By then, it's already too late, as the Peacock Spider's song has drawn them to their doom... Team Snakemouth finally confirmed this folk tale as reality, after their report on the beast's unique abilities. It seems to have been able to summon reinforcements to empower with its dancing. A tough battle, scholars imagine.
Kabbu What mesmerizing sound... It drives me to shake my hips! Alas, we must not be distracted. It has constant reinforcements that it powers up... Our priority should be this Spider!
Vi Cha-ka-cha-ka-cha-ka...Bleh! Stop doing that! It's getting annoying! And the shaking keeps making the others strong... We've gotta focus this guy down!
Leif Why is everyone dancing? ...We don't get it. Whatever. It's clear this Spider is the boss. Let's cut the show short.


Battle Information[]

The Peacock Spider starts the battle alone, but as soon as it is able, it will summon a single Jumping Spider or Diving Spider (always a Diving Spider in Hard Mode) to attack for them. This is a free action, and it can perform another action after summoning. After summoning it, will use its turn to perform various dances which boost the Spider in different ways; it can boost its attack and defense, grant it two charges (to boost the next attack), grant it extra turns, and heal it if it is missing health. If the summoned Spider is defeated, it will spawn another one on the next turn.

If the summoned Spider is suffering from a status effect that makes it unable to attack, the Peacock Spider will hit it, curing the status effect and dealing 1 damage. This attack will not kill the summoned Spider even if it has 1 HP.

Rarely, the Peacock Spider will attack a single party member. Its only attack is a combo attack that hits three times.

Trivia[]

  • The Peacock Spider's ability to lure sailors with alluring music on its island to catch and eat them appears to be heavily inspired by sirens, as they possess the similar abilities and use them in the exact same manner.
  • According to Genow, the inspiration to include the boss was from watching a YouTube video of the real-life spider dancing, though he never specified the specific video.[1]
