Line 16:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Arachne appears in ''[[The Incredible Hercules]]'' as she battles ''(of all people)'' [[Spider-Man]].
* The Crimson King in the comic adapation of ''[[The Dark Tower]]''.
Line 29:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* 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/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.
Line 55:
* One of the bosses from the video game version of ''[[Flushed Away]]'' looks like this.
* The Tarantula Mistresses from ''[[City of Heroes]]''.
* Drachnids in both ''[[
* 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|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]].
Line 70:
* [http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn7/DarkGoomba/Weird/Monster%20Girl/arachne.png Arachnes] are in [[Monster Girl Encyclopedia]]. ''([[NSFW]])''
** As are Jourugumo and Girtabilu (altough the latter are half-scorpion).
* [[Living
* N'ktane from [[Tasakeru]]
* The dridders from ''[[Felarya]]'' are a larger than usual (as in, ''[[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|really frickin' HUGE]]'') example of this. (Will they eat you? Of ''course'' they'll eat you, this is ''Felarya.'')
