All Webbed Up: Difference between revisions

* The DelRey paperback collections of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s stories feature cover art taken from a panoramic painting by Michael Whelan; one section/cover has a human(oid) body strung up like this. [[Covers Always Lie|Despite nothing like this ever happening in any of the stories.]]

 

* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' had some alien organism effectively web up Captain Archer and four other crew members.

* Subverted in ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''; the forehead-of-the-week's corpses just happen to decompose that way.

* Subverted in ''[[The River]]''. {{spoiler|The father, whom everyone has been searching for, is eventually found like this (though encased in amber), but it turns out he did this to himself in order to survive.}}

 

* Basic ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' module M5 ''Talons of Night''. Finnister MacAlister and any other captive [[NPC]]s are found paralyzed and wrapped up in web with egg sacs bound to their chests - they're intended to be food for the baby spiders.

** You can also cast the Web spell yourself!

* ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has a few boss encounters where either the mooks or the bosses can cast a web wrap. Notably Maexxna, the final boss of Naxxramas' Arachnid Quarter, will cast web wrap against the entire raid a number of times during the encounter. Web-wrapped NPCs occur in several arachnid-populated areas as well.

** ''[[Warcraft]] III'' also had Nerubians being able to use Web attacks. Undead Crypt Fiends in particular could use webs to allow ground units to attack air units.

* One such corpse hangs in Vagary's lair in ''[[Doom]] 3''. It actually twitches like crazy when you're still seeing the lair through a window, but by the time you get inside, the person's dead.

** 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.
