The giant spider monkey responsible for ensnaring ships. He controls the 500 Spider Mice all over Thriller Bark.


Name Origin
Possibly from the word "tarantula". He is a spider, after all.


Background
Tararan is skilled in striking others from the darkness in the least expected moment. His web, as well as those from the Spider Mice, were strengthened by Dr. Hogback's research. They can't be broken by human hands, and though resistant to pressure, they have one weakness: fire.


Misc.
Tararan's large ears make it seem like they help in finding out info about everybody's actions, but they're really just for show.
