Character

Kyodaigumo is an enormous spider that answers Kidomaru's summons, serving as his personal beast in combat. Bred for ensnaring targets, she unleashes swarms of smaller spiders to bind her master's enemies in webbing until they are helpless.

Appearance

Kyodaigumo towers as a massive black spider, her abdomen striped with orange down its length, which gives her the look of an oversized tarantula.

Abilities

The moment she is called forth, Kyodaigumo can deposit an egg sac packed with hatchlings, each about the size of a small dog. For the Rain of Spiders, Kidomaru splits the sac open so the newborns shower down on a target; as they fall, each trails a line of silk that wraps the victim, pins them to the ground, and steadily seals off every route of escape until the target is wound into a full cocoon. Should she take a solid hit, Kyodaigumo bursts apart into a mass of webbing, as happened when Neji Hyuga struck her with his Gentle Fist.

History

During the pursuit to bring Sasuke back, Kidomaru summons Kyodaigumo to face Neji Hyuga. She immediately drops an egg sac that Kidomaru cuts open, loosing hundreds of young spiders at Neji, though the swarm fails to bring him down. When she then lunges at him herself, Neji's Gentle Fist shatters her into webbing, and that sticky residue snares his movements, leaving him exposed to Kidomaru's follow-up. In an anime portrayal set during the Fourth Shinobi World War, a reincarnated Kidomaru calls her out once more, and Neji's Gentle Fist undoes her again, this time scattering her into sticky gold.
