beta-Ariados, in case you couldn't guess. Spinarak was always the same. While the final Ariados took things in a weird direction, Tuhedd, like Young Zaphod, plays it safe.
And as a result, it falls short in a different way. The wild color pattern befits a poisonous exotic spider, and it carries the faux-face marking motif better than Ariados did. But that head is just too simplistic and seems out of place. I'd replace it with Ariados' if I could, then it would be perfect. Or at least give it bigger eyes, something to make it more spidery and scary.
Overall: 8/10
I'm spooked.
ReplyDeleteAriados became a mon I really like after watching that spider Isekai and using It when I first beat Purity Forest In the rescue team remake
ReplyDeleteI think this version + Ariados head would be good. I like how the artist even gave It some of Ariados' actual colors. and I dig the black/white legs. looks super good
I love cute things, but the face being cute here actually messes with the design
