There are three main soldier types within [[Arachnos]]:<br />
  
−
Wolf Spiders are the soldiers of Arachnos and are little more than legalized thugs; [[Lord Recluse]] recruits legions of desperate souls to fill their ranks. Arachnos's Crab Spiders are the [[Rogue Isles|Rogue Isles']] SWAT and are sent in to clean up big problems. And only the best of the Wolf Spiders are allowed the grand honor of joining the ranks of the elite Bane 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.<br>
 +
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 [[Patron|Patrons]] is in command of the 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.

[[File:Portrait Wolf Spider.jpg|40px]] [[Jenkins]]

 +
Jenkins is an humorous figure. Please see [[Ingame References]].<br>
 +
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.

Wolf Spiders are little more than legalized thugs. Lord Recluse recruits legions of desperate souls to fill their ranks, then puts them through a rigorous training program that emphasizes loyalty, brutality, and discipline, in that order.

Ezekial Brass, the adopted son of [[Marshal Brass|Marshal Leon Brass]] used to be a Crab Spider. But due to recent events, he may have become a [[Tarantula]] now.

[[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)<br>
 +
The most trusted and ruthless of them become Lord Recluse's personal guardsmen. (2)<br>
 +
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.

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.

This article is about Arachnos enemy types. For the Epic Archetype, see Arachnos Soldier.

Overview

There are three main soldier types within Arachnos:


Portrait Wolf Spider.jpg Wolf Spiders (Levels 1-29)
The most basic of Arachnos soldiers


Portrait Crab Spider Webmaster.jpg Crab Spiders (Levels 20s-54)
The Arachnos version of SWAT forces


Portrait Bane Spider Commando.jpg Bane Spiders (Levels 40-54)
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


Contact Small Wretch.jpg Wretch

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.


Portrait Wolf Spider.jpg Jenkins

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.

Crab Spiders

Arachnos's Crab Spiders are the Rogue Isles' SWAT and are sent in to clean up big problems.

Despite their original looks, the origins the Crab Spiders unit or equipment have never been explained.

The Crab Spiders are under the command of Captain Mako.


NOTABLE CRAB SPIDERS

For some reason, and despite their number, it seems there isn't any notable Crab Spider around.
Ezekial Brass, the adopted son of Marshal Leon Brass used to be a Crab Spider. But due to recent events, he may have become a Tarantula now.

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


Contact Small Hugo.jpg Hugo

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.


Contact Small Hugo.jpg Wrath

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.
