Overview

Created by Weaver One, these unholy terrors of human and machine are some of Arachnos' most deadly operatives.

Enemy Types

Minions

Tarantula

The Tarantula Exoskeleton Armor was developed by an Orb Weaver cell named Weaver One. It grants the user incredible strength and wires him directly to his weapons systems. Rumor is that the pilot must undergo a terrible treatment of some sort to properly graft with the suit.

A rare few Fortunatas volunteer for the Tarantula program. Those who survive integration with the machine are truly terrors to behold.

Tarantula Queen

What terrible process pushes a woman to become one of these unholy terrors is a subject of much speculation. What is known is that their suits are little different from Tarantula Mistresses. Instead, it seems the user somehow suffers the upgrade. Tarantula Queens are incredibly powerful, but also quite mad.
