Chimeric beings with the physical characteristics of both humanoids and spiders. A common variant takes the form of a centaur-esque creature with the upper body of a human and a lower body of a spider, sometimes referred to as driders or arachne, but many other configurations appear in fiction. Naturally, they tend to have an Arachnid Appearance and Attire. Most of the time, they are seen as females, to play off of the Black Widow trope and because female spiders are bigger and more dangerous than males. They're usually shown as Always Chaotic Evil, or at least as predatory and amoral, but they occasionally fall into the Cute Monster Girl or Friendly Neighborhood Spider categories. They commonly have access to a variety of spider-themed abilities, such as poison or the ability to spin webs. Not to be confused with Spider-Man or Spider-Woman. See also the Tsuchigumo and Jorogumo, which are spider Youkai that can turn into people and often, but not always, have the mix-and-match shapes of this trope. Sub-Trope of Beast Man. See also Our Centaurs Are Different when the spider person resembles an aranean centaur and Seductive Spider if they're sexy. For a different kind of arachnid-humanoid chimeras, see Scorpion People, who may serve as a more exotic or threatening replacement for Spider People. |

Wonder Woman (1987): One of the first real signs that Circe is truly slipping mentally rather than just being exceptionally petty and cruel during "The Witch and the Warrior" is that she turned Lex Luthor into a poorly restrained giant spider-taur with his mind intact and kept him on the same ship her young daughter is strolling about. | |

Digimon Ghost Game introduces Gyukimon, who is a mashup of this and a minotaur. The lower half is a colorful spider complete with a venomous maw. The upper half is a purple anthropomorphic ox sprouting from where the spider's head would be. Its venom agonizingly mutates other creatures, including humans, into a form only partly resembles Gyukimon itself. The series also features another appearance of Archnemon, this time as a much more terrifyingly competent villain. | |

The penultimate boss of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. To be specific, Link botches Calamity Ganon's attempt to make a physical body. What Ganon manages to conjure consists of his rotting skull attached to a crude, multi-limbed mechanical torso, which in turn fixed to an old spider mech. | |

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. | |

Dungeon Keeper 2 was supposed to have these, but although their development got far, they were ultimately not included. Their file and concept art names are "Maiden", "Dark Maiden", and "Maiden of the Nest", and in the fan mod that makes them playable they go by Maiden. Maidens are of the "centaurs but with a spider body instead of a horse body" variety. | |

The Vithrack from Pillars of Eternity are an intelligent race of psychic humanoid spiders, and pretty much the setting's equivalent of Mind Flayers. Unlike most examples and the race they're Expies of, they're explicitly not Always Chaotic Evil, and you have quite a few peaceful interactions with them. They're often very isolationist and violently territorial, though, seemingly as a result of their extremely low birth rates. Amongst their own kind and people who have proven friendly to them, they're actually remarkably kind and altruistic. | |

World of Warcraft: One variety of the Nerubians are like this, with spiderlike lower halves and humanoid upper halves. They still look pretty spider-like on the humanoid part, with long, clawed arms and a spider's face. Other Nerubians have widely different body types, with the biggest ones being essentially giant scarab beetles. The Fal'dorei are mutated Night Elves with Nerubian-style bodies and elven heads hidden under hoods. The Aranasiare a race of arachnid demons of the Burning Legion, some appearing like Nerubians, but others have a humanoid appearance while standing on two legs with wing-like structures on their back. |

The protagonist of So I'm a Spider, So What? makes becoming an Arachne her primary goal to hopefully interacting with society because her current form is a terrifying spider the size of a large pig. She doesn't know for certain the biology of an Arachne but she assumes they'd at least have a human upper body and mouth and thus be able to speak to people. She does finally succeed, but she ends up being a Single Specimen Species as no spider monster has ever managed to reach that stage before. To her surprise, below the human upper body she still has a spider's head which contains its own functional brain, meaning she can look herself in the eyes if she wants. The human half also happens to be very beautiful, but this is implicitly unrelated to Arachne as a race: It's just how she looks. | |

Resident Evil: Spider-Human hybrids were meant to be the next step up from the first Resident Evil's Chimera monsters, which were humanoid flies. Unfortunately, the concept was created during Resident Evil 2's 1.5 phase — famously abandoned during a late build by the creators, and the creature went along with it. The Jabberwock S3 B.O.W.s from Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles are a Spiritual Successor to the idea. Whilst not explicitly using spider DNA, they have multiple insectile limbs and protruding, spider-like multi-jawed mandibles, making them look like a horrific bipedal melding of human and spider. Marguerite Baker from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a less straightforward example. While normally a somewhat normal-looking old woman, in her mutated form her arms grow to freakish proportions and her lower torso bloats into something that looks like a spider abdomen. Then she crawls on walls while still taunting you... |

Spider-Human hybrids were meant to be the next step up from the first Resident Evil's Chimera monsters, which were humanoid flies. Unfortunately, the concept was created during Resident Evil 2's 1.5 phase — famously abandoned during a late build by the creators, and the creature went along with it. | |

Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Peter recalls having a nightmare about mutating into one when he got bitten by the spider. First, he was the size of a normal house spider, but after he got flushed down the drain by Aunt May, he woke up (in the dream) washed up on the riverbank, having grown to a monstrous size. | |

Legends of Chima has the Spider Tribe after they are evolved by CHI. Similar to the Scorpion Tribe, they have variants of this trope within them; most Spiders have eight limbs (four spider limbs protruding from their backs and then normal humanoid limbs); Sparratus only has humanoid limbs, and Queen Spinlyn has a humanoid upper body and arachnid lower body. Apparently, this makes her extremely beautiful to the Spider Tribe. | |

Rachnera Arachnera from Monster Musume. She is an arachne with the common centaur-esque form of a human upper half and giant spider lower half. She also has six eyes, fangs and for some reason, her arms have a black exoskeleton over them. She also has the beginnings of human legs, which turn into the spider's pedipalps (fortunately, Word of God says there's no mouth down there). | |

Pathfinder: Dungeons & Dragons' driders are retained alongside the ettercaps and the araneas; however, the goddess Lolth is cut out of the process entirely — instead of being the fruit of a divine curse or blessing from the spider goddess, drow are now magically reshaped into driders by other drow as a punishment, although many have escaped to form their own colonies in the wilderness of the Darklands. Another difference its that, while females retain the appearance of beautiful drow with the lower bodies of gigantic spiders, the males have spider-like faces as well, with multiple eyes and lower jaws that open sideways like a pair of arthropod mandibles. Jorogumos, as in Japanese folklore, are a female One-Gender Race of humanoids resembling beautiful women with spider-like characteristics — in this case, eight jointed spider arms extending from their backs — as well as the ability to control regular spiders. They reproduce by seducing humanoid males, paralyzing them after copulation, laying an egg in their bodies, cocooning them and leaving them helpless and bound until the infant hatches and eats her way out of her father. 2nd Edition introduces the anandi, who resemble humanoids with the heads of jumping spiders. Notably, in a total aversion of what's usually expected from spider-people, they are Chaotic Good. However, the anandi are aware that their appearance is unnerving to humans, so they've developed the ability to magically shapeshift into humans as A Form You Are Comfortable With. A later book, in the course of making anadi a playable ancestry, specifies that the anadi's true forms are just giant spiders about the size of humans. By default, they have the ability to swap between spider form and aforementioned humanoid Form You Are Comfortable With; with a feat they can take the hybrid form mentioned above and access the abilities of both forms at once (e.g., climbing walls while still having hands). Most anadi are depicted as jumping spiders still, though some mechanics imply they could look like other kinds of spider. |

Dungeons & Dragons has quite a few of these throughout its many editions and settings. Perhaps the most iconic of all are driders, who created the definitive "humanoid from the waist up, giant spider from the waist down" appearance that almost every spider-person has since used. These are drow transformed into their new form by Lolth, Demon Queen of Spiders and racial patron of the dark elves. Traditionally, this is a punishment for the drow in question, although 4th edition pointed out the Fridge Logic of being made more spidery by a god of spiders somehow being a punishment and instead made it a blessing.note As originally conceived, it was a punishment because from the drow perspective it meant that Lolth didn't think you could become powerful on your own, so she reshapes you into a powerful form. As this was combined with not being able to grow more powerful — driders, unlike drow, couldn't get class levels — drow society, Social Darwinist that it is, had every reason to look down on driders as unworthy. This seemed a bit thin when edition changes meant driders could get class levels, but it remained as The Artifact. Lolth herself fits this trope, being capable of appearing as a drow woman, a giant spider, and either a drider, a giant spider with a drow's head, or both. Chitines are a race of spider-people created by the drow as a slave-race, appearing as bipedal figures with pronounced fangs and multiple elongated, multiply jointed arms. They are ruled over by female priestesses called choldriths, who, depending on edition, either look like◊ spiders with elven faces or else something like a more hideous drider. Unfortunately for the drow, Lolth took offense to the fact that the chitines weren't "properly" consecrated to her, and inspired them to rebel. Now they constantly wage war on the drow to prove that they're Lolth's "true children". Ettercaps are extremely spidery humanoids, although how spidery has varied over the editions: they started out as trollish humanoids with the ability to secrete silk, gained very thin, spider-like hands and limbs in 2E — making them very spider-like without actually being spiders outright — became humanoids with spiders' claws and heads in later editions and, by 5E, transformed into large, bipedal and armor-plated arachnids. Characterization-wise, they're web-spinners who shepherd and guard spiders, commonly ally with Giant Spiders and spider-like monsters, and often have a particular dislike for fey creatures. One issue of Dragon gave them the reputed origin that they are the descendants of a druidic order that worshiped spiders and tried to become closer to their totem animals, only the whole experiment became a case of Gone Horribly Right, perhaps due to demonic intervention. In Mystara: Araneas combine this trope with Our Werebeasts Are Different. They're a race of sapient giant spiders who developed both an innate affinity for magic and the power to shapeshift into a partially or wholly humanoid form. In a rarity among such races, they're actually not evil, with a typical alignment of True Neutral; they mostly just want to be left in peace and live a quiet life. Ravenloft: Tristessa, a banshee darklord, became a pariah among her fellow shadow fey when she gave birth to a spider-legged daughter. It's unclear if the baby was a full-fledged drider or not. The 3rd edition Monster Manual 3 has the lhosk, which is half spider and half gorilla, drider-style, but is also a sapient race. |

The Elder Scrolls: Spider Daedra, as their name might imply, are a Spider People form of lesser Daedra. Physically, they appear as a naked humanoid torso attached below the waist to the abdomen, thorax, and legs of a Giant Spider. In the spin-off Dungeon Crawler game Battlespire, they have masculine upper human bodies. In Oblivion and Online, they have feminine upper human bodies. Mephala is the Daedric Prince of lies, sex, murder, secrets, and plots, and she is also known by the names Webspinner, Spinner, Spider, Teacher of the Secret Arts, and Queen of the Eight Shadows of Murder. Some depictions of her show her to have spider-like characteristics such as multiple arms. She's also the Daedric Prince whom the Spider Daedra work for. |

One Piece: Thriller Bark's Tararan is a literal Spider Monkey. As in, body and legs of a gigantic spider combined with the hands, head and tail of an equally big monkey. The aptly named Marine Vice Admiral Onigumo note Japanese for Araneus Ventricosus can assume a spider-human form through his unnamed Devil Fruit which has him sprout spider limbs and abdomen from his back. The former pirate "Machete" Run was altered by Law's Devil Fruit powers and transformed into a massive human-spider hybrid, sporting six legs and a massive abdomen in lieu of a lower half, while the fourth pair of limbs is used as extra arms to hold his machetes. Black Maria reveals that she ate the Ancient Zoan Spider-Spider Fruit, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli. In her hybrid form, her lower body is replaced with the body of a whole huge spider, head included, rather than a form similar to Onigumo's. Word of God explains that Black Maria deliberately altered her transformation with a drug similar to Chopper's Rumble Ball. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Five Elders has the power of an awakened Mythical Zoan fruit that turns him into a nigh-unkillable man-spider hybrid. |

Drachnids in both EverQuest 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. | |

Spinnerette has a bad turn when her Lolth-worshiping nemesis "Evil Spinnerette" uses ancient relics and a first-edition Dungeons & Dragons manual to turn herself into a drider. Later she even cons Spinnerette into helping her repeat the feat with two of her minions — complete with a Gender Bender for the male that includes a Lampshade Hanging about the advantages of being female when you turn into a spider. | |

It's noted that they already have most of the Bio-Augmentation that lets them act like spiders (poison, silk glands, etc.), but they want stuff that makes them look like spiders as well — mostly extra arms. | |

The Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends episode "Attack of the Arachnoid" involves a Mad Scientist named Zoltan who finds a way to imitate Spidey's powers, and impersonates him while committing crimes. Unfortunately, the formula then goes out of control, turning him into a full-fledged spider-centaur who calls himself the Arachnoid. Zoltan's assistant (and love interest, horrified at what Zoltan has become) helps Spidey and his friends turn him back to normal. The episode is, for all intents and purposes, a near-total remake of the earlier "The Web of Nephillia" story from Spider-Man (1981). | |

Hazbin Hotel: Angel Dust is a "spider-demon" whose design is a unique one, being quite cute instead of scary or ugly; rather than the typical "spider centaur" design, Angel Dust has a bipedal, humanoid build, albeit with six arms (two of which are retractable.) He's also covered in soft fur, had a mouth full of venomous fangs, and overall is a Little Bit Beastly Pretty Boy who's considered quite attractive by both the characters and the audience. While "evil" might be a bit strong to describe him, he's definitely a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who loves to piss people off. Zestial, the polite and gentlemanly overlord, is another spider demon who similarly bucks the spider-centaur trend; like Angel Dust, he has a bipedal humanoid build, albeit with the standard number of limbs. Other arachnid telltales include dark gray skin, four eyes, a mouthful of fangs, and spider-y clothing accessories such as a webbing pattern on the interior of his Ominous Opera Cape and a spider bolo tie. |

Onimusha has at least three notable examples: Ginghamphatts in the second game (though is eventually revealed in the last boss battle that his lower body is more like a separate creature). The third game's basic mooks in the 2004 timeline are genma with four spider-like legs and a normal torso. The fourth game has non-centaurid spider people in the form of Hell Spiders (multiple-armed humanoid with spider heads who can move really fast and attach themselves to the ceiling with webs). |

Several Demons in the Diablo series are portrayed this way: Baal in Diablo II's Lord of Destruction expansion has a vaguely humanoid torso atop four spider-like legs. Azmodan in Diablo III, whose enormous bulk is supported by 6 legs. Also from Diablo III is Cydaea, who plays it straightest of the three, having a very spiderlike lower body with an attractive demon torso. Deckard Cain describes her as simultaneously beautiful and hideous to look at. |

Rifts: The A'rac are spider-headed humanoids with a penchant for travel and exploration, whose endless roving led to them spreading throughout the Megaverse once they discovered dimensional travel. The Spinne are humanoid spiders mostly found in Germany, with two legs, four arms, rudimentary internal skeletons, and a spiracle-based respiratory system that draws air through their skin and consequently prevents them from wearing any but the loosest armor or clothing. They feed on the blood and liquefied organs of mammals, and Spinne females are much larger than the males. They're divided into two distinct bloodlines: the Starke are descended from web-builders and tend to be even-tempered, staid, and clinical; while the Schnellig, descended from hunting spiders, are much more aggressive and outgoing. Consequently, Starke tend to be researchers and engineers, while Schnellig are more often warriors and spies. |

Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen: Lord Odorom's henchman, General Spider, is a spider-human and one of his deadliest champions due to having six limbs wielding six poisoned rapiers at the same time. It takes the combined efforts of Nobitania, Shizukaria, Giantosu and Sunemisu taking him on in a lengthy Sword Fight, but then he pulls a Villain: Exit, Stage Left after having all six of his weapons snapped. | |

The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Bride of Chaotica!" features Janeway as Aracnia, Queen of the Spider People. Presumably, had we seen the spider people, this trope would have been involved. | |

A Poison Dark and Drowning: The familiars of Nemneris, who are referred to as "Lice", are giant human-spider monsters with eight legs and a set of mandibles in place of a human mouth. | |

In Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars, your Villain Protagonist is an evil lesbian drider who reigns over a vast harem of female Martian slaves who have revolted against her. The title refers to the lesbian spider queen in plural because the endgame reveals the revolution was started by another lesbian drider, who used to be the player-character's girlfriend and is mad at her for being dumped. | |

A semi-inversion in Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back. The spider demons are basically bus-sized spiders, with the upper torsos of women dangling from behind the pedipalps. This does not deter Pigsy in the least. | |

In the Gravity Falls episode "Roadside Attraction", Grunkle Stan has a bad run-in with one named Darlene. She's a drider-like being who, rather than having a human torso on a spider body, has a humanoid body that is very spider-like as well, being covered in an exoskeleton and having spider mandibles instead of a human mouth. Her MO for trapping victims ties her in with the Japanese myth of the jorogumo (see above under Myths & Religion). | |
