Tarantula Boy is a guy who performs in the freak show at the carnival, in the episode "Creepie Meets Tarantula Boy". His mother Marge (who is a tarantula) makes the caramel apples for the carnival. He and Creepie feel an almost instant connection and attraction and decide to hang out (in what could be considered their first date). Later in his first episode when he appears before her as just a regular human boy named Skipper, Creepie declines further interaction with him due to her interest mainly being due to believing him to be part insect. Skipper, as we now know his name to be at the end of the episode, becomes sad from Creepie's rejection wondering if there's something wrong with him to which his giant man eating (adoptive?) spider mother strongly denies.
