| Spider Mom | Gallery |
Spider Mom is a spider variant of Slendrina's Mother, or a hybrid of Slendrina's Mother and Granny's Spider. She was added in Version 1.8.
General Description
She is a deadly enemy in Granny, serving as the secondary antagonist of the game. She serves as the main danger in the Spider Cellar area, taking Granny's role from the main house.
Appearance
Spider Mom is a spider-like creature with six long black legs and the head of an old woman (Slendrina's mother).
She has pale skin, white hair tied back in a bun, blue-gray eyes, an angry expression, a large, gaping mouth with sharp teeth, and several scars on her face. Despite her name, she has six legs like normal insects instead of eight like real spiders.
Sightings
House of Slendrina
This is her first appearance where she appears once on all floors of the house. On the 1st floor of the house, she appears peeking out of a door to a small room. If the player walks toward her, she will move away and vanish. On the 2nd floor, she appears in the hallway. If the player walks toward her, she will run away and won't hurt the player. Her other appearance is on one of the cellar hallways. Upon walking down said hallway, she will appear on the ceiling, running towards the player. However, she is still not a threat, as she will just run over the player's head and continue down the hallway before disappearing.
Granny
This is Spider Mom's first hostile appearance in a DVloper game, and she can be found in the Spider Cellar where she replaces Granny as the threat and makes her appearance after the player opens the Spider Cellar Trapdoor and triggers her to spawn by getting close to the end of the Spider Cellar Tunnel.
Gameplay
When the player nears the entrance to the Spider Cellar, Spider Mom will spawn, running past the Player from somewhere towards the Spider Cellar shelf hall, or the Elevator.
Spider Mom behaves very much like Granny. For instance, she cannot see past corners, which means that in other words, she can only see straight ahead, this means that she will chase the Player if they are in her direct line of sight and only in her direct line of sight. She has six waypoints across the Spider Cellar, and will go back and forth between them, patrolling the space. This, however, does not repeat in a pattern, so she is very unpredictable, especially because of the waypoint change glitch. She can't access the Chest Room at all and can't access the Elevator, however, she can catch you if the elevator door is open. She can wander anywhere in the Spider Cellar on her own with the exception of the hallway leading to the Wheel Crank Tunnel and the barred-off area of the Spider Cellar (even if it is open), However, she can still chase you through those places.
Spider Mom will also chase the Player, just like Granny, with her speed depending on the difficulty chosen by the Player. Spider Mom is also too big to fit into crawl spaces, so she will wait outside of an enclosed room, or try to find another way to get to the Player. She won't respond to items dropping, so sounds are not a problem in the Spider Cellar.
If she catches the player, she will capture them in her legs before eating them, which will knock out the player and send them to the next day, or to a game over screen if the player is on their last day.
Spider Mom is invincible to the Freeze Trap, Pepper Spray, and Tranquilizer Darts, and will ignore them entirely. She can be stunned for a few seconds with the Shotgun or the Gasoline Can's explosion but will get back up after a few seconds pass (note that if stunned, Spider Mom will still catch the Player if they make contact with her).
Whenever Granny enters rage mode, Spider Mom will do the same, knowing where the Player is no matter where they go.

Trivia
- Despite her name, she has six legs instead of the eight legs that a real spider would have.
- In Version 1.3.2 of PC port of Granny, Spider Mom had white eyes that glowed in the dark, just like her mother's.
- This was because during that update, the Lantern was a very dim light source, especially in the Spider Cellar. So DVloper added them to make it easier to spot Spider Mom.
- This turned out to be awkward on Spider Mom. So in Version 1.3.3, DVloper removed the glowing eyes from Spider Mom.
- In Extreme mode, Spider Mom can run faster than Granny.
- In Easy mode, however, she moves very slowly.
- Spider Mom doesn't spawn in Practice mode anymore.
- Prior to Version 1.8.7, Spider Mom used to be on Practice mode.
- Spider Mom is the only antagonist in Granny that is invincible to every weapon used against Granny, The Crow and the Spider.
- If the player crouches through the sewer exit right before being caught by Spider Mom, only her jumpscare sound will play, and she will remain stuck in that spot, and won't be able to chase or attack you, but she will be back to normal the next day.
- If the player accesses the Spider Cellar via the Backyard bug, they will probably land in the Pipe Room, and Spider Mom will spawn as soon as the player leaves the Pipe Room.
- It is unknown how the player respawns on the next day if they are caught by Spider Mom, being that she eats the player if she catches them.
- If Spider Mom walks over a small item, she will most likely push it into the floor and out of the map and the item will most likely respawn beside the well in the Backyard.
- Since Spider Mom gets unloaded once the player isn't in the Spider Cellar area, you can see her disappear if you leave it while facing her.
- This can only be seen from the Vent, near the Sewer Cell.
- This cannot be seen if you exit through the Vent to the Garage as Spider Mom cannot access the cellar tunnel.
- This can only be seen from the Vent, near the Sewer Cell.
- The scream of Spider Mom is reused from some Slendrina games and from the Apple Monster in Hotel Insanity (a privatized game by DVloper).
- Despite her being called Spider Mom, most of the fanbase calls her Angeline Spider, Angela Spider, Angelina Spider, etc.
- When you go back to the Spider Cellar again through the Spider Cellar Trapdoor, Spider Mom will respawn where she was as soon as you exited.
- Spider Mom can access the section locked behind the Iron Bars, even when they have not been lifted.
- It is only possible to observe this using a mod menu and holding the Teddy, as Spider Mom can't see you through the bars and she will never wander to that part on her own.
- She is based on Head Spider from the 1982 movie The Thing.
- The first sound of Spider Mom's jumpscare is the same sound that plays when the grandparents spot you in Granny 3 when you have chosen Nightmare mode.
- She emits the same breathing sound emitted by Slendrina's Child in Granny 2, but slowed down to 0.625x speed.
- Her jumpscare sound is the second loudest in the game, after the sound emitted by Granny when she jumpscares the player when they are hiding under a Bed.
