Line 20:
== [[Film]] -- Live Action ==
* Not half-spider but definitely half-arachnid: ''[[The Scorpion King]]'' (at least in his appearance in ''[[The Mummy
* The spidermonkey in ''[[Spy Kids]] 2'' was half-spider, half-gorilla.
Line 28:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* A non-human example: The aliens in the new [[TNT]] series ''[[
* 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/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).
Line 37:
** Lolth, queen of the spiders, I believe, was the prototype for the Driders.
** [[Forgotten Realms]] has [http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mof_gallery/MonFaePG27.jpg Choldriths], female forms of the multi-armed humanoids Chitines.
* Tsabo Tavoc, the Phyrexian general from ''[[Magic:
** Sheoldred of the New Phyrexians have a similar look, although the lower portion is more like a cross between a spider and a crab, with four legs. And a giant mouth across its entire front,
Line 45:
* 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 Queens of Mars]]''.
* 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.
* Inverted for the Sharan, a race of spider people in the old Polish rpg ''Krysztaly Czasu'' - they are spiders from the waist up and look really awkward (even though their claws had enough dexterity to handle items)
Line 56:
* The Tarantula Mistresses from ''[[City of Heroes]]''.
* Drachnids in both ''[[Ever Quest]]'' games. Upper body of a Dark Elf, lower half of a spider. Made as an experiment / wedding gift by an especially crazy sorceress toward an exceptionally powerful vampire. He didn't care for them, so he released them on Kunark where they quickly populated.
* Spider-Human hybrids were meant to be the next step up from the first [[Resident Evil|Resident Evil's]] Chimera monsters, which were humanoid flies. Unfortunately, the concept was created during [[Resident Evil 2 (Video Game)|Resident Evil 2's]] ''1.5'' phase -famously abandoned during a late build by the creators, and the creature went along with it.
* The dark elf unit Spider Queen, in [[Age of Wonders|Age of Wonders 2]].
* Two appear in ''[[Dark Souls]].'' The first is a boss fight; Quelaag is half-naked-woman, half-'''MAGMA'''-spider, so you spend quite a lot of time dodging flame bursts and lava flows. The other is her unnamed sickly albino sister. "The White Lady" is friendly enough (because she's so ill she thinks you're her sister) and acts as a fire keeper.
Line 71:
* [[Living With Monster Girl]] has an Arachne as well. (also NSFW)
* N'ktane from [[Tasakeru]]
* The dridders from ''[[Felarya]]'' are a larger than usual (as in, ''[[Attack of the

* Veronica from ''[[American Dragon Jake Long]]''.
* Rosie from ''[[A Bug's Life
** 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.
** Mr. Waternoose from ''[[Monsters, Inc.]].''
* Tarantulus and Blackarachnia from ''[[Transformers]]'' are basically roboticized versions of these.
** And Airachnid (a Blackarachnia lookalike) from ''[[Transformers Prime]]''.
* Nephilia from the 1981 ''Spider-Man'' animated series, and Arachnoid from ''[[Spider
