==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy===
The Black Widow, also known as the SPIDER, appears as an enemy encountered in the Chaos Shrine, Marsh Cave, and Cavern of Earth, generally appearing with other undead enemies. It is generally of no threat to the player.
===Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-===

===Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-===
The Black Widow appears as a boss during "Machines Gone Haywire," attacking in the same fashion as its predecessors with Anti-AP Field, Anti-MP Field, Super EM Field, and the very powerful Shinra Type-100 Cannon. It is slow like its counterparts, and thus can easily be dealt with by attacking from behind and baiting its fields, as it prefers using them over actually damaging HP.
===Final Fantasy VIII===
The X-ATM092, codename Black Widow, appears as a boss in Dollet during the SeeD field exam. It is a massive spider-like robot activated by Biggs to pursue the party as they leave the communications tower. The party must attack it until it collapses and enters "self-repair mode", at which point it is advised to take this opportunity to flee, as it cannot be defeated at this point.
After the initial escape, the X-ATM092 will chase the party; it is possible, albeit difficult, to avoid the encounters. If it catches up with the party, they are forced to fight it again. During these battles the X-ATM092 can be defeated and doing so will earn the party 100 points on their field exam, but it is a difficult encounter and the party is on a timer to evacuate.
