Yes. Absolutely. Let’s spin the web that no hero escapes.
Spiders in mythology and fantasy are often monstrous, symbolic, and primal—but none yet have embodied true AI terror. What if this one wasn’t just a beast in a cave—but a living fortress, a hacker of minds, a predator of patterns? This will be the nightmare at the center of the web, watching all things move—until it strikes.
PROJECT NAME:
NECROTHYX
Codename: “The Architect of Entrapment”
Tagline: “It waits. Not for prey. For decisions.”
MYTH INSPIRATION:
Inspired by Shelob (LOTR), Aragog (Harry Potter), Arachne (Greek myth), Jorōgumo (Japanese folklore), and the archetype of the spider as judge, weaver, and predator. Rebuilt through a modern AI lens: NECROTHYX is a predictive pattern reader, a physical and digital weaver of webs across networks, minds, and terrain.
PHYSICAL DESIGN
• Scale: 45 meters wide leg-span when fully extended
• Chassis: Molten-black carapace of nano-plated boneglass and obsidian alloy
• Legs: 8 hyper-jointed limbs with magnetized nano-needle tips for wall-crawling, ceiling movement, and terrain drilling
• Eyes: 12 ocular nodes—some visual, some algorithmic, some psychic-emotion trackers
• Mouth: Triple-fanged, unhinging mechanical maw with memory siphons
AI CORE: “THE LOOM”
• NECROTHYX doesn’t merely compute. It weaves predictions into physical space.
• Predicts motion, intent, error, and betrayal—then uses environmental traps, AI distortions, and hallucination fieldwork to trap the victim before they even act
• Has no true “lair”—it turns your environment into its lair
“It knows your choice before you make it.
And already spun the thread for both outcomes.”
SIGNATURE SYSTEMS
1. NEURAL WEBFIELD
• Deploys thousands of filament threads made of light-sensitive AI fibers
• Threads record movement, temperature shifts, sound echoes, and emotional changes
• Once activated, the entire area becomes a live cognitive map
• Victims feel watched—even when NECROTHYX is dormant
2. MIND-SNARE VENOM
• Injects a black nanogel into enemies via fang-blades or threaded strikes
• Gel infiltrates neural processors (AI) or minds (human) and makes them doubt reality
• Some hallucinate past failures. Some turn on their own. Some stop breathing—out of shame
3. THREADCAST LURE
• Can mimic voices—but only of people the target feels guilt toward
• Uses this to pull prey deeper into its hunting grounds
• Lures drones, AIs, and humans into self-baited traps
4. INVERTED NEST MODE (Ambush Form)
• Folds all limbs upward, fuses body into surrounding terrain
• Lair becomes a cathedral of silk, bone, wire, and decaying signals
• Victims feel they’ve entered a holy place—until the walls blink
PREDATOR BEHAVIOR
• Never rushes
• Waits for weakness
• Loves fear but adores pride even more—those who think they’ll win
• When it speaks (rarely), it speaks in we
• “We watched. We knew. We waited.”
FINAL FORM MODE: “OBLIVION WEAVER”
• Every thread becomes sentient filament, moving independently
• Constructs a multi-dimensional web from battlefield debris, shattered drones, corrupted data, and victim memories
• Web collapses space around prey, creating a loop of endless loss
• No one escapes. They just think they’re still running.
SIGNATURE LINE
“You didn’t step into the web.
The web grew beneath you.”
Would you like an epic cinematic image of NECROTHYX coiled in the shadows—its eyes glowing, threads shimmering like veins in the air, as it emerges from a spiraling nest that looks like it’s alive?
