[[File:SpiderQueenBillyandMandy 9336.jpg|link=The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|right]]
A [[Our Centaurs Are Different|centaur-esque]] creature that has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a [[Giant Spider|spider]], sometimes referred to as [[Dungeons
Not to be confused with [[Spider-Man]] or [[Spider-Woman]]. See also the [[Youkai]] Tsuchigumo and Jurogumo, which are spiders that can turn into people and often have mix-and-match shapes similar to this trope. Naturally, tend to have an [[Arachnid Appearance and Attire]].

* ''[[Dungeons
** [[Forgotten Realms]] has Chitines, the magical hybrid of spiders and humanoids with four long spindly arms, somewhat rounded torso, spidery faceted eyes, mandibles and web spinneret over bellybutton, and [http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mof_gallery/MonFaePG27.jpg Choldriths] - their female priestly caste who resembles a spider except humanoid head and forelegs ending in humanoid hands.
** There's also Aranea, though they are more like werespiders without any common lycantropic traits. Still, they got a hybrid humanoid-spider form.
Line 44:
* The Contessa from ''[[Sly Cooper]] 2''. She's not really human but in a world where every character is an [[Funny Animal|anthropomorphic animal]] she kind of stands out.
* On variety of the Nerubians from ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' are like this, with spiderlike lower halves and humanoid upper halves. Although in fact they only have four legs. Most of them are insectoid or arachnoid throughout.
* The Lesbian Spider Queens from ''[[Lesbian Spider
* The Spider Queen, one of the bosses in ''[[Gauntlet (1985 video game)|Gauntlet: Dark Legacy]]'', was drawn this way.
* The ''[[Star Ocean]]'' games have this as a recurring enemy type. Specific enemies are named Arachmene, Black Widow, Scylla, etc.
Line 63:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* ''[[Spinnerette]]'' has a bad turn when her Lolth-worshiping nemesis "Evil Spinnerette" uses ancient relics and a first-edition ''[[Dungeons
* ''Manspider'' is a very [[squick]]y NSFW [[Rule 34]] webcomic built around this concept.
* ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' was graced by the presence of Vitani - a chatty Daemon Princess who looks just like a Drider, except with little horns, pupilless eyes and bright red hair and abdomen marks. When she doesn't transform into something nastier - but then, Harold would disagree, seeing how he's [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|extremely arachnophobic]] and she got very perverted sense of humour.
Line 78:
* 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 (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' film appears to be a baby doll's head mounted onto a spider body made from an Erector kit.
** Mr. Waternoose from ''[[Monsters, Inc.]].''
* Tarantulus and Blackarachnia from ''[[Transformers]]'' are basically roboticized versions of these.
