Line 30:
* A non-human example: The aliens in the new [[TNT]] series ''[[Falling Skies]]'' have spider-like bodies, but their heads and forearms are more like the creatures from ''[[Alien]]''.
* The Captain Proton holodeck episode from Star Trek Voyager featured Janeway as Aracnia, Queen of the Spider People. Presumably had we seen the spider people, this trope would have been involved.
* There is the Queen of the Racnoss from the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode "[[Doctor Who/Recap/2006 CS the Runaway Bride/Recap|The Runaway Bride]]", she even had a web motif going on for her spaceship. Full spider below but human upper torso and semi-human head (the actress wore a prosthesis with a big frill on it).
* The ''[[Hercules: The Legendary Journeys]]'' episode "Web of Desire" showed a different take on the Arachne myth. She was jealous of her daughter's beauty and drowned her in the ocean. Zeus cursed her into a Spider Person form and banished her on an deserted island.

* The title character of the ''[[Billy and Mandy]]'' episode "The Wrath of the Spider Queen", pictured above.
* Veronica from ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''.
* Rosie from ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'' actually looks like this, despite being an actual spider.
** Also, one of [[Dark Is Not Evil|the mutant toys]] from the first ''[[Toy Story]]'' film appears to be a baby doll's head mounted onto a spider body made from an Erector kit.
