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

Design

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. 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.
