Atlach Nacha • God of Spiders

Atlach-Nacha is a Great Old One and god of spiders. Atlach-Nacha appears as a giant spider with a human-like face, and on rare occasion as a beautiful, multi-armed woman. It dwells in a cave system beneath Mount Voormithadreth. According to later Chaosium material, Atlach-Nacha's web is a bridge between the Dreamlands and the waking world. It is believed that when the web is complete, the end of the world will come.

"The dark form ran toward him with incredible swiftness. When it came near he saw that there was a kind of face on the squat ebon body, low down amid the several-jointed legs. The face peered up with a weird expression of doubt and inquiry; and terror crawled through the veins of the bold huntsman as he met the small, crafty eyes that were circled about with hair"
