== Plot ==
The planet is in the grip of Fuz-Z mania when the cute little creature becomes one of the most popular pets in Acmetropolis thanks to Professor Zane, who says that he found them shortly after the meteor strike. The pets become so popular that Lexi gets one for herself. The team is called on a mission by Zadavia after a huge spider monster attacked an innocent family.
When the Loonatics show up to fight the monster it disappears under the bridge. Upon further inspection Danger Duck finds a Fuz-Z, naming it Wonderfluff and placing it in his backpack, with Lexi’s Fuz-Z hopping in as well. When Danger Duck tells the team the he has chocolate in his backpack, it explodes and out comes the two pets, now having become giant spider creatures. After some fighting the effect wears off and Zadavia tells the Loonatics that the need to split up to collect every Fuz-Z in the city, while the others track down the scientist responsible; Ace, Slam, Tech, and Rev collect the creatures while Lexi and Danger Duck track down Professor Zane.
Lexi and Danger Duck find Professor Zane and are captured. Professor Zane explains that he discovered a Fuz-Z will mutate into a dangerous spider creature upon consuming chocolate. Ace gets concerned when neither Lexi or Danger Duck answer their com links, so the gang goes to check out why. After an intense fight, the Loonatics activate a machine that returns each Fuz-Z to their non-hostile form. Finally, the Loonatics return the creatures to the center of the Earth where they came from, and Zadavia says that the Loonatics can have the day off as the episode ends.
