The Spider is one of the primary antagonists in the indie game Limbo. The main character, a young, unnamed boy, comes across the spider in a dark forest, where the spider attempts to kill him with its sharp legs. The boy tricks the spider into catching three of its legs in bear traps, and it retreats.
Not long after, the boy gets trapped in the spider's web inside a tunnel. Catching the boy, the spider wraps him in webbing and hangs him from the ceiling. Fortunately, the boy manages to wiggle free, but with the spider in hot pursuit.
After making it through several traps, the boy finally manages to crush the spider with a boulder, sending it plummeting into a pit. However, the spider again returns, this time with only one leg remaining. The boy evades the spider's attack, pulls off its last leg, and uses the body as a stepping stone over a spike pit, impaling it in the process.
