Arachnus

Arachnus is a character from the Yo-Kai Watch series.
== Charactah Account ==
The leader of the Bony Spirits faction, Arachnus is a Giant Spider who can shapeshift into a human form.
Arachnus is a humanoid Yo-kai with pale peach skin, eyes with light green sclera and yellow irises, red Kabuki-styled face markings, black hair with yellow streaks, and appendages that simulate spider legs and a ponytail at the back of his head. He wears a red kimono, a purple kataginu with spiderweb designs being held by yellow ropes, a dark blue hakama, and white socks and zori sandals.
Arachnus is the general of the Bony Spirits army, in contrast to his rival Toadal Dude, he is more serious and ground-to-earth personality. Despite this, Arachnus is very passionate over sweets (to the point of declaring a war after a disagreement on wether custard donuts are better than cream donuts or not) and has no tolerance for spicy foods.

== Trivia ==
* Arachnus is based on the purse-web spider youkai called tsuchigumo ("ground spider"), which is also his Japanese name. They are typically evil masterminds that use illusions and trickery to lure their prey, or inflict them with supernatural diseases. The most famous one disguised as a servant and secretly administered poison to the hero Minamoto no Yorimitsu, until he saw through its illusions and struck it down. "Tsuchigumo" was also a pejorative name for gold miners of the Edo period, who polluted rivers with the mercury used to sift gold, and were thus likened to the earth-dwelling poison-spreaders.
