Tsuchigumo

Tsuchigumo (土蜘蛛), literally translated "dirt/earth spider",also known as a Spider Monster, is a species of demon in The Vampiress. Alternate names for the Tsuchigumo include yatsukahagi (八握脛) and ōgumo (大蜘蛛, "giant spider"). This monster is the male version of the Jorougumo.

Appearance
A Tsuchigumo will often look like a spider with eight spider-like arms and two Human-like legs. At the end of each thin arms is a hand that is identical to a Human with the exception of sharp nails and skinny fingers. In the transformation from the Human form to monster form, the back will burge out and act like an abdomen of a spider. The mouths will also alter into a set of manacing manibles while the face shrivel up a little to fit it.

The chest and the stomach area will become slightly segmented to show each arm joints.

Powers and Abilities
Tsuchigumo have multiple arms that can be used in a conjunction at a rapid pace, though each arms are independent from another. A Tsuchigumo by the name of Kumocchi states that he uses his arms by holding the person with some and cut them in the others with his knife.
