Gold Skulltulas, also known as Spiders of the Curse, are recurring enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. These spiders resemble Skullwalltulas and are of roughly the same size, but have a spiky, metallic carapace. Gold Skulltulas are connected to a vile curse that transforms the greedy into deformed Skulltulas. Link can undertake various side quests involving the killing of these enemies and subsequent recovery of their Gold Skulltula Tokens, which when gathered, weaken the curse. Similar to Skullwalltulas, Gold Skulltulas produce a telltale scratching sound, though the exact sound varies slightly — that of Gold Skulltulas is more metallic than that emitted by Skullwalltulas.
