The arachnotron (sometimes called Baby spider) is a monster introduced in Doom II. It is a smaller cousin of the Spider Mastermind that fires green plasma shots rather than bullets. Once the Arachnotron engages an enemy it will continue to fire until the enemy moves out of its field of view or until the Arachnotron flinches in pain. Similar behavior can be observed with the Chaingunner and Spider Mastermind.
According to the manual:
- Maybe cybernetics wasn't such a great idea after all. Look what the demons have done with it. It seems unfair somehow you're not the only guy in Hell with a plasma gun.
Arachnotrons are not specifically present in the Doom novels, though Marines on Earth mention having encountered them in battles.
