 Rantula the Tarantula

One of our earlier characters, Rantula had a blast back in the day. He would crawl around Halloween parties and events on his eight legs, his red eyes glowing and pulsing with energy. Guests would be amazed, and when they least expected it, Rantula would lunge up and flail his legs about!

Rantula could also play to a younger audience, and could be as friendly and gentle as stuffed animal. He even appeared at museums to help educate visitors about arachnids.

Sadly, Rantula the Tarantula has been retired, but fear not, for we now have Felix the Flying Fox Fruit Bat for all of your Halloween needs!
