Deeler

The Deeler is a spider-like enemy appearing in The Adventure of Link. It attacks Link by dropping from the threads of spiderweb-like string. It can most easily be slain by inducing it to fall by running past and then hailing it with sword beams, but a sword slash will work as well. This enemy will stay concealed on the ceiling until Link, (or any non-monster traveler for that matter), comes wandering by. Once the unwary prey comes beneath it, the Deeler will let webs fall on the passer-by and then drop down to finish the victim. If Link is caught in a Deeler's webs he must break out and slash the arachnid twice to kill it. The blue variety of Deelers is stronger, and will drop down and attack from the ground.

Animated series
Two Deelers appear in the "Kiss'n Tell" episode of the animated series. After Ganon knocks Frog Link unconscious, he summons two Deelers to keep an eye on Link. As the Deelers get closer to Link, the young hero wakes up and eats the two spiders but is then disgusted by what he has done.
