Overview

The Arachnos are a villain group in City of Heroes and City of Villians.

Villain Types

Underlings

Spiderling

These attack drones are used to soften up super-powered targets. Arachnos considers them very expendable, and uses them to record and monitor a threat's abilities before more expensive troops-such as Tarantulas or Fortunatas-are deployed.


Minions

Arachnos Drone

Arachnos no doubt stole the technology for these drones from the Rikti. Or perhaps they bargained for it. Lord Recluse will deal with anyone who gives him what he wants.
