Nyar Spider
Creator	Unknown but possibly a Heterodyne
Purpose	Removing annoying personages
First Appearance	EEEEK! ✣

"Yesterday you took out a whole army of clanks!"

"That was a small army--this is a big spider!"

--Agatha and Gil, arguing over who has to save Zola from the Nyar Spider

The Nyar Spider is the fan name applied to a large spider-like creature that happens to make the sound "Nyar". The first ✣ one seen was capable of wrapping up Zola "Heterodyne" in webbing in a matter of moments. It then stood on her head, pulled out a fork and knife (custom large-spider-sized cutlery no less), and triumphantly shouted "Nyar!" again. It was soon squashed by Moloch, who mentioned that while they aren't poisonous, they are "really, really icky." Another appeared ✣ shortly afterward, armed with knife and fork as the first one was (again icking Agatha out), but was bypassed.

The Nyar Spider is unique to Castle Heterodyne.^[1]
