Spinarak (Japanese: イトマル Itomaru, German: Webarak, French: Mimigal) is a Bug/Poison-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Crystal

If prey becomes ensnared in its nest of spun string, it waits motionlessly until it becomes dark.

Pokémon Emerald

The web it spins can be considered its second nervous system. It is said that a Spinarak determines its prey by the tiny vibrations it feels through the web.

Name origin

Spinarak's name is a combination of spinneret, which is where a spider excretes silk, and arachnid. Itomaru could be a combination of 糸 ito, thread, and 丸 maru, circle. The French corruption seems to mean half-tarantula.

In particular, Spinarak shares coloring and appearance with the "Happy Face Spider," an arachnid from Hawaii that seems to have a face on its abdomen.

Japanese believe that a Spider can ensnare careless travelers.
