The Chaarantula is a large, arachnoid creature native to the planet Chaar. Covered with a gray-white carapace, it detects its prey with its two yellow eyes, pursues them on its eight legs which terminate in two claws each, and captures them with the aid of two extendable tentacles near its mouth.
It is capable of spinning webs which have a stone-like appearance to their strands. These monsters are known to prey on Transformers that intrude upon their territory.
