Spinner was the Developers' Pick of the 3rd Design Contest as its doppelgänger archetype would be an interesting Monster to be added into the game. Spinner was designed by 'princecoyotewolf'.

Bio

Spinners are among the most mysterious Monsters of the Sanctuary. In fact, nothing concrete can be said about their biological nature. Some believe that they are simply spider-like creatures, while others believe that they are supernatural entities born from the shadows. The third theory states that a Spinner is an amalgam of an innumerable number of small spiders that are controlled by a single shadowy hivemind.

History

Spinners are creatures found only in the Monster Sanctuary. The first recorded sighting was by Keeper Dragoon Diane in 212 AC. In her journal, she wrote that - after travelling in the distant desolate reaches of the Snowy Peaks for several days - she spotted another Keeper who looked exactly like herself. She was so distraught by this experience that she didn't even dare to approach her doppelganger, certain that it was a dreadful omen. Diane's journal was the only thing that was ever found of her.

Acquisition

Spinner is an optional Champion Monster in the the Underworld. You can obtain its egg by achieving a 5-star rating and only once per playthrough. Click here for more details!

• The Monster Keeper doppelgänger
• Use a Monster with Summon Big Rock to activate the ground switch
• Use a Monster with Grapple on the grappling anchor

1/3

When you enter the far west room for the first time, you are faced with another Monster Keeper that has a similar appearance to the male character. He laughs and flips a lever, which deactivates the bridge beneath you, causing you to fall down the pit. He will then run off. In order to chase the Keeper, you need to activate a ground switch near the bottom right exit using a Monster with Summon Big Rock. This will cause a grappling anchor to appear. Use a Monster with Grapple on the anchor to get to the ledge above. Alternatively, when the Keeper deactivates the bridge, you can quickly jump and use a Monster with Improved Flying or Dual Mobility to get to the ledge.

• Follow the upper path
• Keep following the Keeper until the lower gate is opened
• Close the upper gate
• Backtrack through the lower path to corner the Spinner

1/4

Continue moving west until you spot the odd Keeper again. You will then come across an intersection. Since the lower path is blocked, you are forced to go to the upper path. Keep following the Keeper until you loop back to the intersection; this time, the lower path gate is opened. Go to the upper path again and close the gate. Backtrack through the lower path and chase down the Keeper. Now that the entity is trapped, the doppelgänger reveals itself as Spinner.

It can also be obtained from Reward Box lvl 5.

Trivia

• Spinner has some similarities with Nosk, a secret boss from Hollow Knight, and its design concept may have been inspired by it. Both:
  • are shape-shifting, spider-like creatures.
  • appear as the player character when first encountered.
  • run away when the player approaches them.
  • reveal their true form in a short cutscene before battling them.
  • are optional bosses that you fight in a tunnel maze area.
• Based on a feedback survey back in May 2021, Spinner was one of the Top 20 community's favorite Monster, it being in the 12th place.
• Spinner name and design are based on spiders (the word derives from Proto-Germanic spin-þron-, literally spinner, referencing to how spiders make their webs).
