Wolaxian Arachnids

Wolaxian Arachnids are aliens found throughout Tormented Space. It takes two forms — a Sebacean and a large, spider-like creature.
As a Sebacean, Wolaxian Arachnids infect their victims through touch, causing their strongest emotion to become exaggerated. Victims also develop sores all over their bodies. The Arachnid then transforms into a spider and harvests its victims' energy, storing it in membrane orbs and hiding it in a nest for later consumption. Now drained of their most prominent emotion, the victim becomes weak and close to death. However, if the orb is opened in proximity of the victim, their energy returns and they make a complete recovery.
The Moya crew encounter a Wolaxian Arachnid named Talikaa in the Farscape episode "Twice Shy." Its spider form was realized as a CGI creation by Animal Logic.
