Line 23:
** This happened to [[Squirrel Girl]] in a prelude to [[Spider Island]].
* Played for horror in ''[[Thorgal]]''
* A minor villain in ''[[Batman]]'' did this to [[You Have Failed Me...|two of his henchmen when they screwed up]]—the cocoons were airtight, and [[Deconstructed Trope|the victims suffocated]].
* Happens to Choronzon in ''[[The Sandman]]''.
* Preservers in ''[[Elf Quest]]'' like to wrap living beings in suspended animation cocoons. The cocoons don't give a clue as to their occupants' shape, though in the case of humans or elves the size is usually a giveaway.
Line 51:
** Also ''Planet of the Spiders'', which is about [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a planet overrun with giant spiders]].
** Also ''The Web Planet'', which is about [[Recycled Script|a planet overrun with giant spiders]].
* ''[[Ghostwriter (TV series)|Ghostwriter]],'' in a fiction writing contest (a story-in-a-story), had one of the characters slimed and attached to a door.
* The victims of the [[Monster of the Week|Arachne]] in the ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' episode "Unforgiven".
* ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'' had this happen to four of the rangers and the entire Aquabase personnel. They were stuck to a giant web while spider eggs were slowly hatching to eat them alive.
Line 58:
== [[Tabletop RPG]] ==
* Basic ''[[Dungeons
** You can also cast the Web spell yourself!
* ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]''. Very likely to happen to anyone who tangles with the giant spider-like Great Old One named Atlach-Nacha or Leng Spiders.
Line 70:
* Temporarily happens to your character in ''[[Limbo]]''. You have to make an escape while still covered in webbing, greatly reducing your mobility. It's a bit of a comic relief moment, actually, unless you trip into a pit of spikes...
* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'': Soul Reaver has this in the Silenced Cathedral, which is inhabited by spider-like degenerate vampires. Many of them are ''still moving''.
* ''[[
* When you first discover the Arachne in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 3'', numerous human-shaped cocoons can be seen hanging upside-down from the ceiling and from webs.
* One of the bosses in ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]]'' does this to Torahime.
Line 83:
** Actually, webbed up corpses start appearing a ways earlier, [[Foreshadowing]] the appearance of the Trites, the game's literal [[Demonic Spiders]] (not gameplay-wise, though), and usually come up in areas where you fight them. There is at least a dozen of them in the previously mentioned Vagary room.
* Level three Spider Lair upgrade in the ''[[Battle For Middle Earth]] II'' LOTR RTS.
* ''[[Warhammer Online]]'' has several quests to go into a town overrun with "Silkens", giant mutant spiders that wrap victims in cocoons. One of them is to [[Kill It with Fire|burn the cocoons]] of marauders who have [[You Have Failed Me...|proven too weak]] to the cause [[Fate Worse Than Death|by being cocooned as food/gestation units]] and need to be destroyed to ensure the weakness is purged. Another is to gather the blood of a prominent villager and anoint a banner with it - the villager happens to have already been cocooned, so you need only stab him and gather the blood from the twitching, prone cocoon.
* ''[[Brutal Legend]]'' has this before the battle with the Heavy Metal Queen, a giant spider made of motorcycle parts. Some of the cocoons are twitching, but not because the victim is still alive—when you get near they burst and reveal dozens of tiny spiderlings.
* ''[[Pathways into Darkness]]'' states that if you are successfully killed by giant spiders, [[Have a Nice Death|they web up your body and drag you away to be eaten.]]
* The ''[[Pokémon]]'' moves "String Shot," which lowers the opponent's speed, "Spider Web," which completely prevents the target from escaping, and "Electroweb," which deals [[Shock and Awe|electric damage]] ''and'' lowers the target's speed. Both families of spider Pokémon can learn all of these, and it's pretty obvious how they all work.
* ''[[Resident Evil Code: Veronica]]'' - Happens to Claire Redfield. And there's a webbed-up corpse in the moth corridor.
** ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' - Characters that get grabbed by the moth in "Below Freezing Point" will be found webbed to a wall several floors below.
* In [[Adult Swim|Adult Swim Games']] [[Lesbian Spider
* In [[Ghostbusters the Video Game]] we have the Spider Witch's level which is just one big level dedicated to our webby friends. There are bodies hung from the ceiling and the whole level is basically wrapped in webs. An arachnophobes worst nightmare for sure.
* A handful of minions meet this fate in ''[[Overlord II]]'' after your ship is wrecked on a spider infested tropical island. You can rescue them, though.
Line 104:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The Disney ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'' episode "Web of Fear" had the Unkhbut wrap up Princess Jasmine and take her underground.
* Very briefly occurs in an episode of ''[[Totally Spies!]]'', via a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|giant robot spider]].
* Happens at least twice on ''[[Martin Mystery]]''.
* Because actual violence was a no-no, the ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' cartoon had Tektites project red silk to entangle their victims. (In the games, Tektites just hop around for [[Collision Damage]].)
