There is something about small creatures that crawl, slither or fly that some people just find unsettling. Whether it's because they can be dangerous when they get into our food, can be potentially fatal with their stings or bites, their presence indicating uncleanliness and pollution or just because they can be very annoying when they buzz around. Despite constituting the largest phylum in the animal kingdom and making up eighty percent of all animal life on Earth, arthropods - or arthropod-like creatures - have a habit of appearing in fiction as villains or monsters to be feared. The most common choices are scorpions, spiders, cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes, but even more "benevolent" arthropods such as butterflies, ladybugs, ants, and crustaceans can be used. Of course, it doesn't matter how dangerous or harmless these creatures are in real life. Atrocious Arthropods are quite often aliens, monsters and robots due to how their designs lend themselves to large, scary creatures. They will often be the evil faction in the Bug War. What Measure Is a Non-Cute? and evolution itself can be a factor in this trope, since humans seem to have a biologically ingrained panic response to arthropods, presumably a holdover from prehistoric times where transmissible diseases would be more commonly received via insect bites, and because of this, many people consider most arthropods to be scary or ugly. However, the general consensus is that this response may be easily overridden through frequent exposure to arthropods early in life. In most other cultures, arthropods are more likely to be considered appetizing food than objects of fear. Compare Reptiles Are Abhorrent. Contrast Friendly Neighborhood Spider, Pretty Butterflies and Virtuous Bees. Related to Flies Equals Evil and Bugs Herald Evil. Super-Trope to: Ant Assault Bee Afraid Big Creepy-Crawlies Creepy Camel Spider Creepy Centipedes Creepy Cockroach Dreadful Dragonfly Giant Enemy Crab Mosquito Miscreants Moth Menace Penny-Pinching Crab Scary Scorpions Slaying Mantis Spiders Are Scary Termite Trouble Wicked Wasps |

Digimon: Insectoid Digimon appear throughout the various anime series. A few of them have been partners to the heroes (Tentomon in Adventure, Wormmon in Adventure 02) but more often than not they appear as main villains or monsters of the week. Digimon Adventure: The first antagonistic Digimon the team encounters is a Kuwagamon, an Insectoid Digimon based on a saw stag beetle. Other examples include Scorpiomon, a servant of the Dark Master MetalSeadramon and Dokugumon, a spider Digimon who served Myotismon. Digimon: The Movie: Diaboromon is the main villain of the "Our War Game" portion of the movie. Sporting an insect-like appearance inspired by the Y2K Bug, it is an evil virus Digimon who wreaks havoc across the Internet. Digimon Adventure 02: Arukenimon is an evil Ultimate Digimon based on a spider. She and Mummymon serve Yukio Oikawa, the second human villain seen in the series. Digimon Tamers: Dokugumon appears as an evil Digimon again, this time trying to eat Rika and Renamon. She is defeated when Renamon digivolves into Kyubimon for the first time. Digimon Adventure: (2020): "The King of Insects Clash": Taichi, Mimi, Koshiro and their Digimon are attacked by an Okuwamon and a swarm of Kuwagamon when they reach a canyon. While MetalGreymon and Togemon take care of the Kuwagamon, Kabuterimon digivolves into MegaKabuterimon for the first time and slays Okuwamon. "Garudamon of the Crimson Wings": A massive CannonBeemon commands a squadron of Waspmon to kidnap local Digimon to be used by the evil forces. It is defeated when Birdramon becomes Garudamon for the first time. "The Wolf Standing Atop The Desert": Garurumon becomes WereGarurumon for the first time when Matt, Sora, Joe and their partners have to face a Scorpiomon ruling over a desert they are trying to cross. Digimon Ghost Game: Arukenimon appears as a villain again. She is portrayed as a Digimon that likes to devour people's brains to gain their intelligence, and is one of the few antagonist Digimon that is genuinely depicted as evil and unsympathetic. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987): In "Enter The Fly", Baxter Stockman's latest failure drives Shredder to call in Rock Steady and Bebop to take on the Turtles. Since the unstable dimensional interface requires somebody be sent back through the portal to maintain the balance, Baxter is selected to be sent through a portal to Dimension X while Rock Steady and Bebop are teleported to Earth. But unlike what the title may hint to older viewers the teleportion itself goes on without a hitch. Unfortunately, Krang sees no use in keeping a human ally alive for no apparent reason, and heartlessly orders for his execution. Its then that he is shoved into Krang's disintegration unit and a housefly gets caught in the process and fuses with Baxter, transforming him into a deranged fly-creature, with both human and fly thoughts and desires. | |

Darksiders: Some of the bosses and enemies have arthropod-like appearances. Darksiders I: Among the villains in this game are The Chosen, abyssal creatures from the Abyss that predate angels and demons. Two of them qualify as Atrocious Arthropods: Silitha, a Giant Spider who feeds those who wonder into her territory to her young or keeps alive as her prisoners if they have information, and the Griever, a massive, feral, insectoid beast. Both of these creatures also have offspring, the Broodlings and the Swarm respectively, who serve as enemies to the player. Darksiders II: Some of the enemies featured are Stingers, hornet monsters that swarm death and can only be stopped from spawning by destroying their hive, and Scarabs, insect monsters encountered in the dungeons of the Dead Kingdom. The latter have larger and stronger variants called Scarab Hulks. Darksiders III: One of the bosses is Sloth of the Seven Deadly Sins. His appearance is that of a large, green, grotesque bed-bug. He also calls upon insectoid monsters to fight Fury. |

Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth: Mothra averts this by being a heroic moth Kaiju. However, her dark counterpart Battra plays this straight, albeit as a Well-Intentioned Extremist. While he also protects the Earth, he is only concerned with the Earth, and any of its inhabitants who threaten the planet will also face his wrath, which happened to the Cosmos civilization when they created a weather control system. In the present day, he awakened to stop an asteroid headed for Earth, but was enraged by modern humanity's pollution and began attacking civilization as punishment. | |

Power Rangers in Space: "Wasp With A Heart" has two insect-themed monsters, Waspicable and Sting King. The former is a subversion of this trope, being a kind-hearted creature that is being forced into evil and pulls a Face–Heel Turn after being befriended by Cassie. The latter plays this trope straight and tries to kill the Rangers. "The Barillian Sting" has the Barillian Bugs, a race of scorpion-like aliens whose sting can transform the victim into one of them, as Carlos learned the hard way. |

His daughter Trakeena is a humanoid in insectoid armor and takes over as the main villain after Scorpius dies. For extra points, their ship also resembles a cross between a dragonfly and a scorpion. There was also a monster of the week who was based on a lobster. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: Arachnor is the Monster of the Week in "Web War". She is a spider-like demon with the ability to scan the Rangers' weapons and find their weaknesses. She was defeated using Carter's Battilizer Power Rangers Wild Force: The villains of "Forever Red" are generals commanding the remnants of the Machine Empire, the villains from Power Rangers Zeo. The generals are recycled costumes from Beetleborgs and thus are based on insects. Power Rangers Ninja Storm: The Thunder Rangers are a subversion. They start out as evil Rangers but are revealed to have sympathetic motives, namely avenging their dead parents which they were tricked by Lothor into believing the Wind Rangers' mentor was responsible for. They ultimately pull a Heel–Face Turn. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder: Demagnetron is a the monster of the week in "Game On". He is part diving beetle, part rhododendron and part magnet. Insectolite is the monster of the week in "Burning at Both Ends". He is a cross between a centipede, a pansy and a satellite. Power Rangers Megaforce: The Warstar are a race of insectoid beings who are out to conquer Earth. Their leader, Admiral Malkor, is a moth-like being and one hell of a Bad Boss. |

Resident Evil: Some of the Bio-Organic Weapons or B.O.W.s for short, have been insects or arachnids transformed into terrifying monsters. Resident Evil: The Web Spinner and Black Tiger are spiders who have grown into giants as a result of exposure to the T-Virus while the remake introduced the Chimera; a creature created by combining human and fly DNA. Resident Evil 0: Two of the bosses the main protagonists Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen face are the Stinger and the Centurion a giant scorpion and centipede respectively. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis: The Drain Deimos and Brain Sucker are massive humanoid insects encountered on multiple occasions by the protagonist Jill Valentine. Resident Evil – Code: Veronica: One of the bosses fought by Chris Redfield is a giant black widow spider which was created by the T-Virus. Resident Evil 4: The Novistadors are giant insects who serve as a host of the Las Plaga parasites, they are capable of turning themselves invisible as well as spitting corrosive acid as an offensive weapon. Resident Evil 5: The Reapers are African cockroaches that have been transformed by accidental exposure to Uroboros. Resident Evil 6: The J'avo are a class of mutant whose body parts transform into arthropod creatures. Resident Evil 7: Giant insects created by the Mold are encountered in the Old House as common enemies. |

Marvel Universe: Fantastic Four: Annihilus is the insectoid tyrant of the Negative Zone. He views all other living creatures as a threat to him and believes the only way to survive is to kill everyone else. The Incredible Hulk: Miek, one of Hulk's companions in Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, doesn't start out this way but becomes this over time. Miek belongs to an insectoid race native to the planet Sakaar. After he encounters several tragedies, including his species facing extinction, Miek becomes obsessed with getting revenge on those who have wronged him, escalating to him withholding the truth about how the Hulk's wife and children truly died so the Hulk would go Worldbreaker and become a machine of complete rage and destruction. Spider-Man: Mac Gargan aka the Scorpion is a former private eye who was transformed into a scorpion-based villain after he underwent an experiment funded by J. Jonah Jameson. Richard Deacon aka the Human Fly was a two-bit criminal who stumbled upon a scientist's lab while fleeing the police. The scientist's experiments transformed into a superhuman using the genetic code of a housefly. Deacon killed the scientist and used his new powers for criminal pursuits. X-Men: The Brood are insectoid aliens who serve as antagonists to the heroes. The Brood's goal is to reproduce and consume all resources, and they have been shown to be very sadistic when torturing their victims. Madrox: Sheila DeSoto, the fiancée of mob boss Eddie Vance, is the true villain of the story and is a mutant with the ability to take on a terrifying insectoid form. She got engaged to Eddie in order to kill him and take over his racket, and murdered a Madrox duplicate when he learned of her plans. |

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls: Chrysalis has a very obvious insect motif and is without a doubt the most evil and cruel character in the entire story. While in her Resurreccion form, her upper body remains that of a beautiful woman with a pair of green antennae, while her lower half is an amalgamation of different kinds of insect and arachnid parts, including over six feet long mantis-like scythe blades, two sets of wings - one of a moth's, one of a wasp's and a barbed spider abdomen with a wasp stinger at the end. And to add to her status as the Queen, she can spontaneously lay eggs to make mindless but powerful offsprings. Her part of Hueco Mundo closely resembles a hive and she has the ability to put people in cocoons. Her son Thorax, while taking a lot from her, is an aversion. | |

In Buttercup's case, her nightmare is being attacked by giant spiders due to her arachnophobia. The climax has the girls fight HIM who has taken on the form of a freakish, scorpion-like creature. |

Mortal Kombat: Hanzo Hasashi goes by the code name Scorpion. He frequently goes through the Heel–Face Revolving Door and can transform into a giant scorpion in Mortal Kombat 4. D'Vorah is a villain and a member of the Kytin, an insectoid race whose bodies are essentially humanoid hives of insect colonies. D'Vorah is one of the least trustworthy characters in the games, willing to ally with anyone she believes will assure her survival. This often means she is on the side of the villains. |

Godzilla: Arthropod-themed Kaiju appear throughout the films as antagonists. Son of Godzilla: The Kamacuras are giant praying mantises who try to eat Godzilla's son, Minilla. There is also Kumonga, a Giant Spider that is much more dangerous than the Kamacuras. Godzilla vs. Megaguirus: The titular Megaguirus is a Dreadful Dragonfly and the main antagonist of the film. She can siphon energy from her opponents and use their powers against them. Godzilla vs. Megalon: Megalon is an insect Kaiju that seems to be a cross between a mole cricket and a rhino beetle. Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth: Mothra averts this by being a heroic moth Kaiju. However, her dark counterpart Battra plays this straight, albeit as a Well-Intentioned Extremist. While he also protects the Earth, he is only concerned with the Earth, and any of its inhabitants who threaten the planet will also face his wrath, which happened to the Cosmos civilization when they created a weather control system. In the present day, he awakened to stop an asteroid headed for Earth, but was enraged by modern humanity's pollution and began attacking civilization as punishment. Godzilla vs. Gigan: The main villains are a race of cockroach-like aliens who want to take over Earth after their own planet was destroyed by pollution. Ebirah, Horror of the Deep: The titular Ebirah is a giant shrimp mutated by the nuclear waste of the terrorist organization Red Bamboo who use him to guard their island base. The Return of Godzilla: Shockirus are giant sea lice which were mutated by feeding on Godzilla's radioactive blood. At five feet long, they were certainly large enough to be a threat to humans, even if not quite Kaiju-sized. Godzilla (2014): The MUTOs are the villainous Kaiju of the movie and resemble giant insects. They are a somewhat sympathetic example: Their goal is merely to reunite with one another, have offspring, and ensure the resurgence of their species. Even with the amount of destruction they cause, they are at least sympathetic in this regard. In addition, they usually only cause destruction solely because they're so large and act more like actual animals. |

The DCU: Blue Beetle: The New 52 reimagines the Reach with a more insectoid look while retaining their role as an antagonistic race of conquerors. Green Lantern: Parallax is the cosmic embodiment of fear and the creature that possessed Hal Jordan to make him evil. It's appearance is a cross between a dragonfly and reptile. Supergirl: Godship, the main villain of Bizarrogirl, commands an army of large insect monsters. Superman: The Post-Crisis version of Insect Queen is an insect-like alien who seeks to colonize Earth. Kryptonite Nevermore has Superman saving Lois Lane and her pilot from a swarm of flesh-eating ants. Wonder Woman (1942): The Robert Kanigher run featured the Termite Queen, a one-shot villain who appeared in issue #58. She was a monster termite with a vicious hatred of humans and the ability to telepathically command termites, which she used to make them consume metal and wreak havoc. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: A number of villains and antagonists have used insect decks. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Insector Haga is the most well known example in the franchise. A highly respected duelist who specializes in insect monsters when introduced, Haga shows himself to be an underhanded cheater when he throws Yugi's Exodia cards into the water. In his return in the Battle City arc, Haga sabotages Jonouchi's deck by slipping in a card that allows him to turn the latter's monsters into insect monsters. The Waking the Dragons filler arc has Haga go full on villain by joining the doomsday cult the heroes are fighting against. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: In the second episode, Yusei duels a man named Lenny who wants to take his D-Wheel. Lenny uses an insect deck that focuses on beatdown and swarm tactics. Rudger Goodwin is the leader of the Dark Signers, the Evil Counterparts to the Signers. He uses a spider deck with his ace monster being the Earthbound God Uru who resembles a giant spider. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Semimaru is an underground Dueling criminal who was reincarnated as a Barian with a cicada-like appearance. He also uses an archetype of insect monsters called Cicadas. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga): Kyoji Yagumo is a ruthless and cruel Numbers Hunter with a Spider deck. Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS: Aso is a member of the Knights of Hanoi and uses an insect deck focusing on the Motor Worm archetype. In contrast to the other examples on this list, Aso is a villain with a noble goal, namely saving humanity from the Ignis. |

Transformers: Animated: Waspinator and Blackarachnia are sympathetic variations of this trope. Before she became Blackarachnia, Elita-1 was an Autobot cadet who, along with her friends Optimus and Sentinel, went to the planet Archa Seven looking for a Decepticon ship. The trio were attacked by Giant Spiders and Elita was presumed dead. In reality, she had used her ability to copy powers from other creatures allowed her to survive being injected with the spiders' venom but she was also transformed into a techno-organic Transformer with a spider alternate mode. Blackarachnia hates the Autobots, particularly Optimus and Sentinel, for abandoning her and has sided with the Decepticons. However, her main goal is to reverse her transformation into a techno-organic and she is depicted as a Tragic Villain. Wasp was once an arrogant but promising Autobot cadet until he was accused of being Decepticon spy by Bumblebee (the real spy was Longarm Prime aka Shockwave, who had framed Wasp). Wasp was imprisoned and driven mad by the experience, swearing revenge on Bumblebee for ruining his life. He broke out and ultimately fell in with Blackarachnia who convinced him to undergo a procedure that transformed him into a techno-organic Transformer with an insect alternate mode. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Subverted with the Changelings, a race of creatures that look like a cross between a Pony and a winged insect. They're initially introduced as a Horde of Alien Locusts who terrorize Equestria and have a Horror Hunger for love. However, it's eventually revealed that they're being deliberately starved for love by Queen Chrysalis, and once they learn more about friendship, they make a Heel–Face Turn, complete with a metamorphosis into more beautiful forms which resemble a cross between a deer and a stag beetle. Queen Chrysalis, however, plays this trope straight, refusing to change and eventually forming a Big Bad Ensemble with some of the former villains of the series in a bid to conquer Equestria. The main characters have fought creatures resembling insects. These include the Bugbear (a vicious cross between a bear and a bug), Flyders, flying Spiders who apparently consider Ponies to be food, and the Flash Bees, which have electric stingers and are highly aggressive. |

Beast Wars: The Predacons have many insect, arachnid, and crustacean alt modes among their ranks, with their insignia looking noticeably insectoid. The arthropod Predacons are Waspinator (wasp), Inferno (ant), Scorponok (scorpion), Quickstrike (part snake, part scorpion), Tarantulas (spider), Rampage (crab) and Blackarachnia (spider). Blackarachnia does pull a Heel–Face Turn but doesn't quite shake her Predacon ruthlessness. To drive the point home, toyline exclusive combiner Tripredacus is made of three arthropods: two insects (a beetle and a cicada), and a lobster. | |

Jonny Quest: The eponymous robot in the episode "The Robot Spy." When first discovered, it looks like a bowling ball that's 30 inches (75 cm) in diameter. The Quest team put it in a storage shed overnight, intending to examine it more closely in the morning. Left alone, the ball spouts four very long articulated legs, and opens one big eye. Under the command of its master Dr. Zin, the robo-spider then goes sneaking around the facility, aiming to analyze Quest's newest Secret Weapon. | |

The Return of Godzilla: Shockirus are giant sea lice which were mutated by feeding on Godzilla's radioactive blood. At five feet long, they were certainly large enough to be a threat to humans, even if not quite Kaiju-sized. | |

Godzilla (2014): The MUTOs are the villainous Kaiju of the movie and resemble giant insects. They are a somewhat sympathetic example: Their goal is merely to reunite with one another, have offspring, and ensure the resurgence of their species. Even with the amount of destruction they cause, they are at least sympathetic in this regard. In addition, they usually only cause destruction solely because they're so large and act more like actual animals. | |

Tayruns Adventures And Beast Chronicling: The Leather-backed Omni-Stomper is basically the Ed-209 depicted as a gigantic bipedal invertebrate (though what type is not certain) which is highly territorial and attacks anything that enters its turf (luckily, it still can't climb, so its victims can evade by hiding at the top of a hill until it clears off). | |

Darksiders I: Among the villains in this game are The Chosen, abyssal creatures from the Abyss that predate angels and demons. Two of them qualify as Atrocious Arthropods: Silitha, a Giant Spider who feeds those who wonder into her territory to her young or keeps alive as her prisoners if they have information, and the Griever, a massive, feral, insectoid beast. Both of these creatures also have offspring, the Broodlings and the Swarm respectively, who serve as enemies to the player. | |

Transformers: A theme consistently followed by the franchise from nearly day one, with an overwhelming amount of Transformers with arthropod alt-modes, mostly insects, being evil. Transformers: Generation 1: The Insecticons are Decepticons with insect alt modes. In addition to serving as Mooks for Megatron, they possess the ability to convert any sort of matter into Energon for the Decepticons to use. Beast Wars: The Predacons have many insect, arachnid, and crustacean alt modes among their ranks, with their insignia looking noticeably insectoid. The arthropod Predacons are Waspinator (wasp), Inferno (ant), Scorponok (scorpion), Quickstrike (part snake, part scorpion), Tarantulas (spider), Rampage (crab) and Blackarachnia (spider). Blackarachnia does pull a Heel–Face Turn but doesn't quite shake her Predacon ruthlessness. To drive the point home, toyline exclusive combiner Tripredacus is made of three arthropods: two insects (a beetle and a cicada), and a lobster. Transformers Film Series: The Decepticons are given monstrous animal-like features to contrast with the more human-looking Autobots. Some of them have arthropod features such as Megatron, Demolishor, Scalpel and Frenzy. There is also Scorponok whose robot mode is a scorpion. Transformers: Animated: Waspinator and Blackarachnia are sympathetic variations of this trope. Before she became Blackarachnia, Elita-1 was an Autobot cadet who, along with her friends Optimus and Sentinel, went to the planet Archa Seven looking for a Decepticon ship. The trio were attacked by Giant Spiders and Elita was presumed dead. In reality, she had used her ability to copy powers from other creatures allowed her to survive being injected with the spiders' venom but she was also transformed into a techno-organic Transformer with a spider alternate mode. Blackarachnia hates the Autobots, particularly Optimus and Sentinel, for abandoning her and has sided with the Decepticons. However, her main goal is to reverse her transformation into a techno-organic and she is depicted as a Tragic Villain. Wasp was once an arrogant but promising Autobot cadet until he was accused of being Decepticon spy by Bumblebee (the real spy was Longarm Prime aka Shockwave, who had framed Wasp). Wasp was imprisoned and driven mad by the experience, swearing revenge on Bumblebee for ruining his life. He broke out and ultimately fell in with Blackarachnia who convinced him to undergo a procedure that transformed him into a techno-organic Transformer with an insect alternate mode. Transformers: Prime: In addition to the Insecticons, we also have Airachnid. A sadistic spider-like robot, Airachnid served as a mercenary during the Cybertron War, holding no allegiances to either side. Not only does she hunt other species into extinction for sport, but she also murdered Arcee's first partner Tailgate. |

Starship Troopers: The Bugs are the alien antagonists of the novels and are utterly ruthless in their war against humanity. That said, it is left unclear which side actually started the war between the humans and the Bugs, and the Federation did expand on planets that had been claimed by the Bugs. | |
