* 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 aptly-named Arachnos in ''[[Titan Quest]]'' have humanoid torso and spider body. Their queen Arachne is a giant boss monster.
