Originally, the tsuchigumo (translated to "earth spider") and their Distaff Counterpart the jor�gumo ("whore spider" or "binding bride") were a term for people who did not show allegiance to the emperor of Japan, describing them as a frumpy people with disproportionately long limbs and living in holes in the ground. As time went on, the satirical caricature would grow more absurd and the racist connotations would be lost to time and soon they became a malevolent monster known for ensnaring humans for mating and food. These spiders are monstrous in size (as big or bigger than a man), with Oni-like faces (sometimes including Messy Hair), and can take human form to eat travelers. Jor�gumo uses a lure to attract travelers to feed her offspring, and often has the power to allure men with a song not unlike the Sirens of Classical Mythology; other times she may act as a Shapeshifting Lover. Either way, they tend to be a Seductive Spider. Tsuchigumo has a powerful, hairy body, and can also use illusions to keep his webs hidden and make people ill in order to feed on them. In modern pop culture, they commonly manifest as Spider People, possessing the top half of a human and the lower half of a spider. Whether or not they are monstrous predators who would sooner kill you when your back is turned or if they are just misunderstood, differs. In modern Japanese, o-tsuchigumo also refers to ground-dwelling tarantulas (which are hairy, sturdy and have large faces), and jor�gumo to a number of species including wasp spiders and golden orb-weavers (which are known for their coloration and impressive webs). Sub-Trope to Spider People and Youkai. The Seductive Spider will sometimes overlap with this trope, though not all tsuchigumo and jorogumo are all that seductive. |

In Daily Life With Monster Girl Online, Kuruwa is the member of a sub-species of arachne called the Jor�gumo. She is unique among other arachne as while other species of arachne have a spider's body in-place of legs, Kuruwa has regular human legs with four black and yellow legs sprouting from her back. | |

In Usagi Yojimbo, two stories deal with such Yokai: one, titled "Gumo", has a village besieged by monstrous giant spiders lead by a Kumo Onna, forcing Usagi and Sasuke to join forces. Another one quotes the famous story of Minamoto-no-Yoritomo and has lord Noriyuki threatened by a Tsuchigumo living in a screendoor animated by a cursed ink set. | |

Grimm: The spinnetod are implied to have provided the basis for legends of the jorogumo due to the entry on the creature in Aunt Marie's Grimm journal featuring a painting of a man encountering a jorogumo in a way that implies said man was a Grimm encountering a spinnetod. Rather fittingly, the females of the species (who all usually look incredibly attractive while in human form) seduce men so that they can subsequently feed upon their victims (in other words, the standard MO for a jorogumo) for the sake of allowing themselves the ability to shed their skin lest they suffer Rapid Aging. | |

Rosario + Vampire Keito is a jor�gumo who is a member of the Public Security Commission, the first member to try and undermine the Newspaper Club because they have a history of defying them. Her true form has her other four appendages coming out of her stomach with a spider-like face. She has a special type of venom who allows her to control those she bites, having enthralled the original presidents of the Classical Literature, Japanese Tea-Ceremony Club and Yaoi Manga Club to be made as an example to the rest of the school. Kumocchi is a tsuchigumo member of a group of robbers who work under the doppelganger Phantom Thief. |

In Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest, Erza is transformed into one after she's beaten and captured by one of the Arc Villains, and is set loose on the rest of the heroes (some whom were briefly turned into yokai themselves). Fortunately, since Wendy's magic excels at fixing problems like these, Erza's turned back pretty quickly. | |

Supernatural: The Arachne seem to take heavy cues from the jorogumo despite being primarily from Crete, consist of both males and females instead of being a One-Gender Race, and looking primarily like humans (without any obvious spider-like physical traits) who have web based powers and venomous bites. They're encountered in season 6, with flashbacks to Sam's time while soulless and hunting with Samuel showing them hunting a female having started hunting prey in midwestern America. Taking note of how said female is interested in men between the ages of 35 and 50 to seemingly feed upon, and how this makes him and Samuel unsuitable prey (with Sam himself being too young while Samuel is too old), Sam tricks the local middle-aged sheriff into acting as unwitting bait so it would take him back to its lair. And upon reaching the lair, Sam and Samuel kill the monster by beheading her before Sam himself then shoots all the men she'd had webbed up in her lair (including the sheriff) in a attempted Mercy Kill due to believing that they were already dying and 'beyond help' (even "thanking" the Sheriff for his 'sacrifice'. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the Arachne had actually been turning her victims into fellow arachne, not feeding upon them. And by the time Sam attempted his ostensible Mercy Kill, the men had all successfully progressed far enough in the turning process to have gained the Arachne resistance to bullets and fire, allowing them all the chance to escape into the wilderness after Sam and Samuel departed, with the now understandably pissed off Sheriff seeking revenge against Sam later on in the 'present day' segments of the episode. | |

In the Anno Dracula novel 1000 Monsters, yokai are merely a localized and varied subspecies of vampires. After Dracula had been deposed from Victorian England, many vampires go into exile to Japan and the murderous vampire Claire Millinger got eaten from the inside out by a tiny Jorogumo. But rather than dying again what happened was a Fusion Dance where the result was a giant Jorogumo with Claire's head and personality intact. | |

Pathfinder: Jorogumos are monsters resembling highly attractive humanoid women with spider legs sprouting from their backs, which they can retract or extend at will. 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. The campaign setting has a country, Shenmen, ruled by jorogumos, who took over when its government collapsed and monsters overran it. | |

In One Piece, elite member of the Animal Kingdom Pirates Black Maria is a giantess of a woman who's very beautiful, dresses and has the mannerism of an oiran (courtesan), such as smoking a kiseru, living in quarters designed after a traditional japanese brothel and playing the shamisen with great skill. We later learn that she ate the Spider-Spider Fruit: Model Rosamygale Grauvogeli, allowing her to turn into a gigantic spider-woman hybrid. For bonus points, Rosamygale were ancestors of the Mygalomorph spiders, which includes tarantulas (referred to as Otsuchigumo in Japan). | |

Onmyōji (2016) features JorÅ�gumo as a collectible SR-rank shikigami, which takes the form of a giant spider with the upper body of a beautiful woman sprouting up from the middle of its back. She's a Literal Maneater and attacks by sending a Spider Swarm at enemies which can stun them. She sides with the evil god Orochi and is fought as a recurring enemy in chapter 22 of the story. | |

Dragon Project have two Jor�gumo-inspired Behemoths in the form of Grinning Ayame and Grinning Yurami as the Fire Soul Sword and Shield and Earth Soul Great Sword Behemoths respectively. Both eyeless spider Geishas carry a parasol that nullifies damage above, and in Yurami's case, she casts a shadowy mist that nullifies all damage until it's removed, preferably with a fast hitting fire weapon/magi. | |

Monster Hunter: Rise: The Rakna-Kadaki is a gigantic spider-like monster that is heavily based on the jor�gumo. The webs on her body are meant to invoke a wedding gown to reference the jor�gumo's name meaning "Binding Bride," and she can spit fire like the youkai she is based on. | |

Nioh 2: the second DLC, Darkness in the Capital features a boss fight against the Tsuchigumo, appearing as a massive humanoid with multi-jointed long limbs, spiky spider legs emerging from its back and a head which mixes a skull with a tarantula eyes and chelicerae. Appropriately enough, you also encounter Minamoto Yorimitsu in the same DLC. | |

Muramasa: The Demon Blade: A tsuchigumo is fought in a web-filled castle room. He captures Torahime and her soldiers, and is fought alongside his children, who also appear earlier in the dungeon leading to him. A jorogumo, Dayu the Courtesan, is the final boss of the fourth and final DLC, Hell's Where The Heart Is, seducing the deuteragonist Seikichi to lure out and capture the protagonist, Rajyaki. | |

She serves as Jade's Evil Mentor, while also slowly transforming her into a Jor�gumo as well so that she can take the Queen's place and have the Vessel containing live eggs implanted into her in order to rebirth the species. | |

Nioh has a whole level set in a ruined castle infested by giant spiders with a Jor�gumo as the boss: in this case, it's a huge, monstrous spider with armored legs, a vulnerable abdoment and a woman's torso where the head should be, with two more legs emerging from the sleeves. It is stated that, rather than a person, she's the manifestation of the spirit of Matsunaga Hisahide's beloved teapot Hiragumo (Whose name means Flat Cloud but, since Kumo can be read as spider, has given pretty much everyone free way to give Matsunaga a spider motif). | |

It: Though it may have been entirely unintentional, the eponymous creature of Stephen King's novel has much in common with this particular brand of youkai. Its true form is a gigantic spider, and throughout the story appears in several humanoid shapes, most notably Pennywise the Clown. The balloons are strictly of King's invention, though. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: A Punny example in the card Jirai Gumo ("Landmine Spider"), which lurks underground and pops out to attack people who pass by. Tsukahagi, the Poisonous Mayakashi is a Zombie-type monster from the Mayakashi Archetype, his design looking similar to a human samurai with eight astral spider-legs behind him. He has a Synchro-monster counterpart called Tsuchigumo, the Poisonous Mayakashi, a spider-taur with a more mechanized armored appearance. |

For ulterior points, her hideout is hidden behind a waterfall and "Chi" can mean spider in Chinese. | |

Gravity Falls: A jorÅ�gumo-like creature named Darlene appears in the Season 2 episode "Roadside Attraction". She's never identified as one and her human part is distinctly American, but her basic appearance and modus operandi — a female spider-like monster who adopts a human guise to seduce and attract the men she preys on — fits the jorÅ�gumo myth quite nicely. | |
