Spiders are creepy. People with spider legs growing out of their body much more so. It does have a few perks, though. Characters who have an extra set of spidery appendages can often use them to scuttle about on walls and ceilings freely, jump great distances, and even reach the jar of cookies hidden on the top shelf! These spider limbs can also be used instead of walking on human legs, giving the character an extra meter or two of height, and almost seeming to float. These limbs can be of any make. Maybe they're Artificial Limbs, Combat Tentacles with Mundane Utility, or even inky tendrils born of the deepest darkness. Though for some reason they're always attached/growing out of the small of the back. The limbs aren't usually prehensile, and the more insectoid-looking ones are in fact often depicted with pointed tips, which isn't true to arachnid anatomy. Some of the stranger variants are equipped with claws, hands, or cartoon strength static cling that allows the limbs to manipulate objects. Likewise, tentacle rather than spider based limbs can also be used as Tentacle Ropes. Usually, this is exclusively a case of Bad Powers, Bad People due to the spider/octopus/tentacle factor. Still, there are cases of Dark Is Not Evil. Not to be confused with Multi-Armed and Dangerous, but may overlap if the extra combat arms can also be used to scuttle around. |

The Thing (1982) features a scene with a disembodied head growing a set of Spider Limbs after its original infected corpse becomes compromised. Following up on this, manifestations of the same shape-changing creature in the prequel featured similar crab- or spider-legs sprouting out of bodies or parts thereof. |

Darkwing Duck: A Monster Clown toy has these, and they end in rather large axes to boot. It was probably the creepiest thing Quackerjack ever made. The kicker? It is made by an Alternate Universe counterpart who was actually a good guy. Darkwing Duck himself, in the episode "Aduckyphobia", receives a radioactive spider bite that granted him two extra pairs of arms, though they seem to have minds of their own (he gets the hang of it when he learns they respond to verbal commands). The Spider-Duck costume is pretty sweet. |

In Psyren, chimeric Taboo Gordov sprouts a set of spider limbs tipped with human nails from his back to shoot beams of compressed Psi. Near the very end of the manga, we see the real Big Bad Mithra collecting and swallowing the core of Quat Nevas, a shapeless mass sprouting thin spidery limbs. When she transforms, she grows massive spider limbs from her body which allows her to channel blasts of Psi. | |

Inuyasha: The Big Bad Naraku and his Combat Tentacles fall into this category. Though there is a certain element of Body Horror for sure, the underlying theme is definitely arachnid in nature as he was once a human named Onigumo (demon spider) and all of his incarnations manifest a spider on their backs. | |

Resident Evil: Resident Evil – Code: Veronica: the Nosferatu boss is a mutated human whose arms are chained behind his back, but can still attack by waving around three composite bone-like limbs sprouting from his back and tipped with massive scythe-like blades. Resident Evil 4: Osmund Saddler's One-Winged Angel form is a very grotesque take on this, having four gigantic, chitinous spiked legs emerging from his head, with his now limp and mutated body dangling between them. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles: the Jabberwocks are arachnid-based humanoid B.O.W. armed with humongous blade-tipped limbs coming out of their backs. The Final Boss gets several for walking and two for attacking, one tipped with a massive club-like set of claws and one ending in a giant organic scythe. Resident Evil 6: among the Javo's random mutations, there's one which turns their whole legs into a set of spider limbs, allowing them to scurry around at greater speed. Resident Evil Village: in a variation, Karl Heisenberg's transformation include long, spider-like mechanical limbs tipped with buzzsaws. Miranda's transformation leaves her with a set of massive, spiked limbs coming from her back which can also turn into wings. |

The Song and Silence sourcebook features the Fang of Lolth prestige class, which culminates with fully functional Half-Human(oid) Hybrid/Spider limbs. |

Girl Genius: A couple of background characters are like this, apparently double amputees who use them as mobility prosthetics. Given that the whole backdrop is of a pseudo-Europe which has been in a state of low-level warfare for an indefinite period, It Makes Sense in Context. Agatha's exoskeleton, used to get a good night's sleep despite Zetha's wish, also gives off this vibe. especially when it pulls out the weaponry. |

Teen Titans (2003): Gizmo often zips around on four mechanical legs. Kinda like Doc Ock, but they only have about three joints each. Fang is a strange example: He uses four giant spider legs to carry himself rapidly across any sort of terrain and to hoist himself out of reach of his enemies. Instead of sprouting from his back, they come from the abdomen of the mutant giant spider that has replaced his head. The humanoid body just sorta hangs there, waving around limply, as it's pulled around by the spider legs. The whole thing is an homage to a scene in FLCL where a monster with spindly legs legs emerges only partly through a girl's head, and drags her body around in a similar fashion. |

Pre-dating the Civil War Iron Spider armor, a possible future Spider-Man was shown to be a genius with Powered Armor using a similar system to Doc Ock's. Interestingly, the future Goblin serving as his nemesis had equivalent technology on her armor as well. | |

Spider-Man: A lot of instances of this trope have cropped up over the comic's history. Firstly, there's arch enemy Doctor Octopus and his four back-mounted mechanical tentacles. Then there's the Iron Spider armor Tony Stark gives Spider-Man in the Civil War has three retractable arms. There's also Midnight Sons rogue Spider-X, who has bony spider-limbs. Pre-dating the Civil War Iron Spider armor, a possible future Spider-Man was shown to be a genius with Powered Armor using a similar system to Doc Ock's. Interestingly, the future Goblin serving as his nemesis had equivalent technology on her armor as well. Spider-Man once had a teenage fanboy named Ollie Osnick who built himself a set of mechanical spider legs and tried to become Spidey's sidekick. Since he was a clumsy, out-of-shape teenager with no combat experience, it was a good thing that Spider-Man was able to talk him out of it before he hurt himself. A few years later, he reemerged as the Steel Spider, having gotten into shape and learned some hand-to-hand fighting ability in the interim. After beating up some guys who'd attacked his girlfriend, he decided to hang up the costume but then reemerged during the Civil War on the anti-registration side. His super-hero career apparently ended when he fought the Thunderbolts and Venom bit off and ate one of his arms and he was imprisoned in the Negative Zone. In Superior Spider-Man (2013), Spider-Man adds similar waldoes to his second costume. Makes sense, since he's actually Doctor Octopus after stealing Spidey's body and life. They are destroyed during the "Goblin Nation" arc. The third and fourth Spider-Woman both possessed these at different points. Originally they were a power of Charlotte Witter (Spider-Woman IV), as a result of genetic manipulation by Doc Ock. After a lot of back-and-forth power-stealing, the limbs — along with the other powers of all three other "Spider-Women" — ended up with Mattie Franklin (Spider-Woman III). This has happened to Spidey before, but he managed to cure his condition thanks to the help of Dr. Curt Connors (a.k.a. the Lizard). |

Irken's PAKs in Invader Zim can extrude these on command. Zim has a strikingly matter-of-fact handling of these (to-him) familiar tools. They are likely purely instinctual. There's one episode when Zim's right next to something blowing up, and when the smoke clears you can see his spider arms in the same position as his actual arms, trying to shield himself from the blast. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Occasionally found on tech-priests of the Imperium. Mechandrites, which are cybernetic tentacles tipped with various useful things (manipulators, specific tools, weapons, etc) are a de-facto cyber implant amongst their ranks. Techmarines (Space Marines who also function as tech-priests) often have a large servo-harness mounted on their power armor with multiple grasping arms. |

In the Infernum D20 setting, this is the effect of the first mutation for the Chain of the Spider. The demon (or fallen angel, or corrupted human) sprouts a number of secondary appendages to give them eight limbs in total — of themselves, however, they simply make it easier for the character to climb; it takes the Chain of Multiple Arms mutations to make them strong enough to be used in combat or for tasks. | |
