Grabber

Grabber (グラバー) is a spider-like badnik from the 16-bit version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 found in Chemical Plant Zone. When Sonic stands directly underneath them they'll drop down, pick him up and blow up causing damage to him. It is best to attack them from the side rather from down below, because you may risk being captured by them. If it auto destructs, the animal inside is killed. It is possible to escape from a Grabber's hold by pressing left and right alternately on the d-pad.
