Peacock Spider

The Peacock Spider is a bounty optional boss found within Peacock Island in Metal Lake. It is a large Spider with red eyes and two crystals attached to its front legs, which is uses to perform dances. Its abdomen has a face pattern on it with red, blue, and orange coloring. When defeated, it will drop the Crystal Feather which can be returned for the bounty reward.
== Battle Information ==
The Peacock Spider starts the battle alone, but as soon as it is able, it will summon a single Jumping Spider or Diving Spider (always a Diving Spider in Hard Mode) to attack for them. This is a free action, and it can perform another action after summoning. After summoning it, will use its turn to perform various dances which boost the Spider in different ways; it can boost its attack and defense, grant it two charges (to boost the next attack), grant it extra turns, and heal it if it is missing health. If the summoned Spider is defeated, it will spawn another one on the next turn.
If the summoned Spider is suffering from a status effect that makes it unable to attack, the Peacock Spider will hit it, curing the status effect and dealing 1 damage. This attack will not kill the summoned Spider even if it has 1 HP.
Rarely, the Peacock Spider will attack a single party member. Its only attack is a combo attack that hits three times.
== Trivia ==
* The Peacock Spider's ability to lure sailors with alluring music on its island to catch and eat them appears to be heavily inspired by sirens, as they possess the similar abilities and use them in the exact same manner.
*According to Genow, the inspiration to include the boss was from watching a YouTube video of the real-life spider dancing, though he never specified the specific video.YouTube Interview
