The Arachnid Alien is a part of the Aliens toy line produced by Kenner Products. Its name suggest that it is an Alien spawned from a spider-like species. But has been rumored to be a split-evolution of a facehugger that has not impregnated a host (therefore leading to the possibility that after a specific amount of time,The Xenomorph embryo inside of them starts to break down and combined together as one Xenomorph). An arachnid Alien is seen in a comic book among many other xenomophs and when they break out you see it attacking the androids.
