Skullwalltula and Gold Skulltulas

Skullwalltula and Gold Skulltulas is an NPC actor in Ocarina of Time.

← All actors

Placement

A Gold Skulltula despawns at load if the token its params encode (area index in bits 8-12, flag bit in the low byte) is already collected in the save. Keep the area index in the vanilla 0-23 range — higher reads out of bounds.

It clings to collision found by short raycasts at spawn — mount it against a wall or ceiling with its Y-rotation aimed at the surface, or it won't attach correctly.

Type variants (5)

This actor is placed in one of these forms. Pick it from the editor's Type dropdown. The value is what the actor's parameters store. Each picture is fitted to its cell, so compare the stated sizes and not the images.

	Value	Type
	0	Skullwalltula (enemy)~55 units tall
	1	Gold Skulltula~15 units tall
	2	Gold (Hidden)~15 units tallThe night-only type (top bits 2) stays at scale 0 during the day — tested in daytime it looks missing.
	3	Gold (Leap Out, Soil)~15 units tall
	4	Gold (Leap Out, Crate)~15 units tall
