Galvantula are hairy yellow and blue spiders. They appear to have four pigment pits located in the middle of their foreheads, nestled between two larger eyes which have pupils.

Spiky, hairy blue features fringe their abdomens.

Galvantula are also capable of using the move Spider Web, which used to be exclusive to the Spinarak evolution line.

In the manga
Galvantula was first seen destroying a BW Agency shoot, and attacking five people. This Galvantula was defeated by Black, who was blamed for the crime, and was caught and added to his team, nicknaming it Tula. It is later revealed that Tula used to belong to another trainer but was released after one of Team Plasma's speeches, which is why it was so hostile when it was in the wild.

Origin
Galvantula is based on a tarantula, or a jumping spider.
Name origin
Galvantula is a portmanteau of the words galvanism and tarantula. Dentula is likely a combination of 電気 denki, electricity, or 電柱 denchū, lightpole, and タランチュラ taranchura, tarantula. May also tie in with chū, an alternate reading of 虫 mushi, meaning bug.
