Tsuchigumo (ツチグモ) is a demon in the series.

History

Shin Megami Tensei IV

"Monsters said to come from the bastardization of certain clans of Japan. The word comes from a different word, "tsuchigomori", meaning dirt-dweller. Those who did not pledge allegiance to the Imperial Court were called this because they lived in holes and caves. As time passed, people may have misinterpreted the name for a literal meaning and made them into spiders, or perhaps the manifestations of grudges of those who were put to death by the Imperial Court."
Shin Megami Tensei IV Profile

A Tsuchigumo is summoned by one of the Ashura-kai men in front of the elevator that leads to the Counter-Demon Force Base at Kagsumigaseki. The spider demon's defeat leads the men who summoned it to flee.
