History
Godzilla: The Series
Web Site
The Giant Mutant Widow Spiders were first seen in South America, where they attacked a man who ventured into the jungle. H.E.A.T. was then contacted by the military to investigate. They collected a few small Spiders, and were attacked by many more. Despite the military's attempt to kill them with pesticides, the Spiders were immune to most toxins. The Queen Mutant Widow Spider then attacked the military base, where it faced Godzilla. The Queen attacked him with her webbing, but Godzilla was able to break out before both monsters retreated. After returning to its nest, the Queen laid more eggs. H.E.A.T. and the military then discovered that a certain type of pollen paralyzes the Spiders and used this against them at the Spiders' nest. They left their pollen payload in the nest, but were attacked by more Spiders and Godzilla was called to rescue them. He defeats the Spiders and H.E.A.T. is commended for their work.
Abilities
Venom
The Spiders can inject venom into their prey by biting them. While the venom is only potent and not lethal, numerous bites can leave a human in critical condition.
Swarms
The Spiders use their numbers to bring down targets.
Webbing
The Spiders can spray strands of webbing to wrap up their prey.
Reproduction
The Queen Spider can reproduce asexually, similar to the first Godzilla. If her children are killed, the Queen Spider can lay more eggs to replace them.
Durability
The Spiders are resistant to most toxin. Pesticide seems to only slow the Spiders down.
Weaknesses
The smaller Spiders could easily have their legs shot off. Godzilla was able to rip off one of the Queen Spiders legs after biting it. The Spiders can be rendered paralyzed by the pollen of a flower.
