This article is about Arachnos enemy types. For the Epic Archetype, see Arachnos Soldier.
Overview
There are three main soldier types within Arachnos:
- The most basic of Arachnos soldiers
- The Arachnos version of SWAT forces
- Highly specialized reconnaissance and assault troops
Please see each section below for more info available on them as well as notable soldiers of each branch.
Enemy Types
Wolf Spiders
The most basic and lowest of Arachnos forces, and probably the most numerous too. Wolf Spiders are desperate souls and little more than legalized thugs. They have conventional, very basic weapons and armor such as pistols, shotguns and sub-machine guns, in Arachnos version.
Those who show skills and dedication are promoted to the Crab Spiders. In the case of more rare and valuable skills such as psychic powers they can be promoted to the ranks of the Bane Spiders, or those with Mu blood may be transferred to the Mu Mystics.
Few seem to remain in the Wolf Spiders by choice.
Apparently none of the Arachnos Patrons is in command of the Wolf Spiders.
NOTABLE WOLF SPIDERS
Though not technically a Wolf Spider anymore, the brutal bodyguard of Ghost Widow is known to have been once part of the Wolf Spiders, and he still wears the tattered remains of his Wolf Spider uniform as of today.
Jenkins is an humorous figure. Please see Ingame References.
This clumsy Arachnos soldier shows up in different missions. He can be a Wolf Spider, a Wolf Spider Tac Ops or even a Wolf Spider Huntsman. Though he tries to help, in the end he always get himself caught by the enemy or causes some sort of trouble to the player.

Bane Spiders
Lord Recluse has had Arachnos gathering psychic children for years, and built two great forces, each army part of his strategy to fully control the forces that destroy all conquerors. The children, their powers are remade: their powers are forced inward. They mind-control themselves, then link themselves to the other Bane Spiders. They are a vast network of self oppression, designed to enforce its own loyalty. (1)
The most trusted and ruthless of them become Lord Recluse's personal guardsmen. (2)
It is known that Bane Spiders are recruited from among the Wolf Spiders, but not if this is always the case.
Apparently, the Bane Spiders are under command of Lord Recluse himself.
NOTABLE BANE SPIDERS
One of the most notable Bane Spiders is also one of the most troublesome. The first Bane Spider to ever break free of Arachnos' mind conditioning, Hugo Figures may well spell the end of Lord Recluse's Bane Spiders.
Virtually nothing is known about Wraith, other than the fact that he was active back in the 60s. Perhaps was one of the first Bane Spiders... or perhaps not.
