Cursed Rich Man

The is the basic name for people cursed by various means into a Skulltula. They appear in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. They are known for their greed and because of that, they end up cursed.

In Ocarina of Time, the cursed men are a father and his five sons, who reside within the House of Skulltula in Kakariko Village. They have taken the form of Skulltulas due to the cursed bestowed upon them by the Spider of the Curse. Upon Link's visit the father explains that the only way their curse will be lifted is if all of the Gold Skulltulas around Hyrule are destroyed and if their Gold Skulltula Token is collected as well.

The man persuades Link to help them by promising the young hero great riches if the father and his sons are all freed from their curse.[3] As such, Link must set out and seek out 100 Gold Skulltula Tokens to restore the family back to its former state. The young hero will earn their grateful awards each time he destroys a certain amount of Gold Skulltulas.

In Majora's Mask, the cursed man is a person who was cursed by the Swamp Spider House. According to him, someone told him that he could become rich and gave him the Mask of Truth. The person said that the instructions to become rich were written somewhere in the Spider House, but just as the man went in to go look, he became cursed and turned into a Skulltula-like creature himself. The only method to lift the curse is for the thirty Gold Skulltulas in the house to be killed and their spirits harvested as proof of their defeat.

After all 30 of the Gold Skulltulas are defeated and the curse is lifted, he will give Link the Mask of Truth.
