Spider “Mother”

Adversaries Designed by Izzib3th

Adversary overview

A horrific blend of humanoid and arachnid, her upper body is vaguely human, draped in ragged silks. Her lower body is that of a massive spider. Threads trail from her fingertips.

The Spider Mother is utilizing her threads to control the living and dead bodies of travelers, mercenaries, soldiers, and the like that traverse through her forest.
Heavily inspired by Demon Slayer.
