The Great Spider is a giant insect monster that was scrapped from the 1933 film King Kong, but does appear in the script and the 1932 novelization.

Name

The Great Spider is never given a proper title, and is often simply referred to as a spider. However, an individual is at one point referenced as "the great spider".

Design

The Great Spiders were described as resembling "kegs on many legs", and having "protruding eyes of no discernible color. While it is acknowledged as a spider and thus eight legged, the film's script refers to it as an insect, which would indicate that it had six legs.

History

King Kong (1932)

The Spiders inhabited the great crevice of Skull Mountain Island, and lived in the numerous caves and crevices that lined it. After a member of the species sized up a Two-Legged Lizard, it decided that it was too large to take on, and instead opted to eat an Octopus-Insect instead. Shortly after this, Kong and a Triceratops began to shake human sailors off of a log bridging the chasm. One fell into the slimy mud at the bottom, and was swarmed by six Great Spiders that ate him alive. After the rest of them were sent into the pit, the Great Spiders, Octopus-Insects, and Two-Legged Lizards all fought for the new carrion.
