This Giant Black Widow figures among the several daikaiju-sized creatures discovered living in a lost valley within a mountainous chain in tropical Africa.
As it turns out, the sunlight passing through the hazy clouds that cover the valley is responsible for triggering a chemical mutation in the life forms that venture into it, resulting in their gigantic growth.
Biology[]
Despite its humongous size, which is comparable to that of Godzilla (who is described as "30 stories high" in this series), this spider can still create webs to capture prey such as the Giant Dragonfly.
It also drips venom from its fangs and is capable of leaping long distances. Its venom is powerful enough to incapacitate Godzilla almost instantly. However, the spider isn't immune to its own venom, thus allowing Godzilla to defeat it by tricking it into biting its own leg.
