Terroranchula is the Nemetrix's DNA sample of a Terroranchula from an unnamed planet.
The Terroranchula is the predatory species of Ball Weevil's Species.
Appearance
Terroranchula is a giant four-legged spider with a body of a silverfish with four pincers with one claw on each and a silver colored exoskeleton, the lower half of her legs and back of her head is covered with light brown hair. Her eyes are red, reptile-like head with an open mouth smile. Terroranchula wears a red spiked collar with the Nemetrix on it.
Powers and Abilities
Terroranchula can make force field-like webs that neutralize Ball Weevil's explosive goo balls.[1]
Terroranchula can coat itself with these webs and deliver a jolt of energy to anyone who touches it.[2]
Terroranchula's legs' sharp points make for offensive weapons.[1]
Terroranchula can squeeze through small spaces seen when Ball Weevil escaped through a narrow pipe and Terroranchula followed through the same pipe.[1]
Terroranchula has enhanced hearing.[1]
Weaknesses
Terroranchula's webs can easily be neutralized by an electrical blast; this is heavily shown in effect from Feedback.[2]
Despite possessing enhanced hearing, Terroranchula is vulnerable to high-pitched noises.[1]
