The Yaraneedas (ヤラネーダ )? are the main monsters from Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure that first appear in episode 1. They can be summoned by the Witch of Delays' servants by throwing a dark purple orb at the object they want to possess.
The Yaraneedas are voiced by Mikajiri Nozomi.
In episode 10, a more powerful variant of Yaraneeda, called Zenzen Yaraneeda (ゼンゼンヤラネーダ )?, is created.
In episode 22, an even more powerful variant of Yaraneeda, called Zettai Yaraneeda (ゼッタイヤラネーダ )?, is created.
In episode 29, a much more powerful variant of Yaraneeda, called Chou Zettai Yaraneeda (超ゼッタイヤラネーダ )?, is created.
In episode 45, Butler summoned an army of new Yaraneeda, called Kowasunda (コワスンダー )?.
Appearance
A Yaraneeda has the body of what they possessed with fish-like gills on the sides of their face, with their facial expression making them look unmotivated. When it takes a target's Motivation Power, its eyes glow red and it smiles creepily.
Abilities
Each Yaraneeda's abilities and powers depends on their possessed object, but they all have the ability to take anyone's motivation, leaving the target not wanting to do anything, and powering itself up. However, it appears to not have any effect on the Pretty Cure.
