* ''Series/{{Grimm}}: The [[SpiderPeople spinnetod]] are implied to have provided the basis for legends of the jorogumo due to the entry on the creature in Aunt Marie's Grimm journal featuring a painting of a man encountering a jorogumo in a way that implies said man was a Grimm encountering a spinnetod. Rather fittingly, the females of the species (who all usually look incredibly attractive while in human form) seduce men so that they can subsequently feed upon their victims (in other words, the standard MO for a jorogumo) for the sake of allowing themselves the ability to shed their skin lest they suffer RapidAging.

Whoever wrote the Supernatural entry in its previous form clearly either never actually watched the show or didn't pay the most minute iota of attention when they did, because the previous form of this entry was chock full of Critical Research Failure. Also adding an entry for Grimm.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': One of these showed up in season 6, having started hunting prey in midwestern America. Specifically, this spider-woman was interested in men between the ages of 35 and 50 to implant with her offspring so they could feed on them as they hatched. Sam realizes that that this made both him and his much older partner Samuel unsuitable prey, but coldbloodedly lured the local middle-aged sheriff into a trap so it would take him back to its lair, then killed the monster, her offspring, and [[MercyKill even the sheriff]] after "thanking him" for his sacrifice.

* The most famous story concerning a Tsuchigumo involves one plagueing the samurai lord Minamoto no Yorimoto, causing him to feel sick and weak. One day he notices a mysterious boy/old monk coming and going from his room and slash at him with his sword, forcing the disguised Tsuchigumo to escape. With the help of his retainers, Yorimoto proceeds to hunt down the spider in his lair and slay him.

* The Arachtagon from ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'' is a colossal spider monster who dwells under the city of Octagonia and traps the defeated fighters to drain their strength and bestow it to the man responsible for its presence. Design wise, it resembles a realistic-looking spider with a {{Oni}} visage, sporting jutting fangs, horns and a scar over his eye.
