Spider Princess

Spider Princess is the ruler of the spider race. Despite her name, she is also known as the Queen Spider. She is incredibly ambitious and views humans as nothing more than food, and even proposed the idea of treating humans only for the purpose of domestication. For that reason, she joined Black Alice's reign of terror.

After Ilias launches her war against humanity, Spider Princess invades Grangold Castle. Queen Ant condemns her for preying on humans, getting exiled from her hometown and dethroned as the Queen Insect and attacks her. However, Spider Princess summons Gigamander, proving herself more than a match for Queen Ant. She then commands all her minions to descend upon the castle and to consume everyone. Later, Luka hears from a Tarantula Girl in Grand Noah that Spider Princess has requested all spiders to assemble, but some like her did not partake in it. Luka eventually arrives at Grangold and assists in fighting against the spiders. Eventually, he manages to reach and defeat the Spider Princess, halting her ambitious goal and causing her minions to flee.

Monsterpedia Entry
''“The new Queen of Spiders, reigning over all other spider monsters. Proud of her incredible physical and magical prowess, she is also a user of Yamatai native Yin and Yang magic.''

''A brutal character, she will mercilessly devour anyone she deems prey, regardless of race or gender. Especially brutal towards men, she will first rape them until exhaustion, then feed on them without every disguising her intentions. Due to her incredible power, she is regarded as extremely dangerous that will never stop preying on others.''

''A member of the Arachne family, she too is detested by other monsters of all types. As a result, the only ones who follow her act as she does, further ostracizing her group from the rest of the monsters.”''

Battle Overview
Keep Gnome up, or risk an inescapable bind. When Gigamander is summoned, her damage output is increased 2.5x; switch to Serene Mind for 100% dodge rating. Alice's magical attacks do no damage, and Monster Lord's Cruelty deals less damage than usual; consider saving her for healing.

If you feel truly brave, bum rush her with a Daystar - Salamander - Daystar - Monster Lord’s Cruelty (defeat on Normal) - Heavenly Demon Revival (might be defeated on Hard).

It is possible to inevitably lose to a sequence of paralysis, bind, then Arachne Repro; nothing can be done about this.

Evaluation
''“Not just being squeezed dry, but eaten too? I’m happy to see you grow in the complexities of ways to die. As expected of the new Queen of Spiders, her restraint techniques are very strong. Since you can’t break free without Gnome, make sure to always have her on hand. You can avoid some status effects with Sylph, but the instant loss of her bind is more generous. In addition, she can summon spirit of fire, which will overwhelm you. Since you don’t have Undine yet, make sure to use your serene state. Just like before, the Monster Lord’s skills should be used for recovery. Lastly, if you lose to a certain move, additional insults await. But please, try to fight seriously. Now go, oh brave Luka. Destroy that new Queen, exterminate those ugly spiders.”''
