In 1st ed: A Tarantella was a large spider whose bite would make someone dance uncontrollably until they were cured or passed out.
IRL, a Tarantella is a frantic Italian or Spanish dance inspired by the myth that the bite of a tarantula (which at the time was just a harmless wolf spider being blamed for things it wouldn't do) would cause people to become hysterical - aka tarantism.
Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.

I guess the coolest bit of lore I know is that Quag Keep (the first D&D novel) references not The World of Greyhawk (as published in the 1980 Folio/1983 Box Set) but The Domesday Map of The Great Kingdom & Environs of the Castles & Crusades Society (from which D&D sprang, first with Dave Arneson's Castle Blackmoor and then with Gary Gygax's Castle Greyhawk campaigns).
In D&D, AD&D, and D&D 3(.5)e, a 3" blind and vulnerable animal could easily kill a creature that was using psionic powers (even if the creature wasn't naturally psionic but was just merely using spells with psionic effects). It was just a mole by all normal appearances and habits except that it would attack anything exhibiting psionic effects with 121 points of psionic damage with a chance of causing permanent insanity on non-psionic creatures. The only options were to dig to find the thing and kill it as if it were a simple mole or normal mole stats or get away from it as fast as possible.
A Brain Mole. Apparently, a favorite trap as it has homebrews for each edition thereafter.
