Anti-Villain: Ruthless and utterly monstrous as their crimes may be, the reason why they're like that is to protect their home of Meteor City from raiders and criminals, by creating the image of an evil organization so feared that no one would try to touch it.Animal-Motif Team: Membership in the group is denoted by a spider tattoo and they're often called "The Spiders" or the like when referred to.Alas, Poor Villain: The deaths of several of their members are played up quite tragically, right down to the surviving members mourning the deaths of their True Companions which contrasts their otherwise amoral nihilism.Affectionate Nickname: Shar, Fei, Bono, Uvo, Paku.This can make dealing with them somewhat frustrating for some characters, most notably Gon, who has a very strong hatred for people who have an understanding of morality, comradery and human decency despite seemingly being sociopathic savages, viewing such people as hypocrites. Affably Evil: Many of the members can be genuinely amicable and reasonable if the situation calls for it, despite otherwise being ruthless murderers.On the flipside they're Unperson inhabitants of a city-sized garbage dump, two (and later on, another two) of their members have died, their leader is Brought Down to Normal and they're at the mercy of a boy half some of the members' age. 13 Is Unlucky: To the public, they're so strong that the entire Mafia is powerless against them and they had to call in the strongest characters known to the readers at the time to put them down.The group is often referred to as "The Spider", because of the 12-legged spider tattoos that mark their membership. Several of the members come from Meteor City, officially a gigantic landfill, less officially an autonomous city inhabited by millions of Unpersons, even less officially a Mafia-subsidized breeding-ground for anonymous hitmen. If a member dies, they simply get replaced. ![]() They have a peculiar organization, being villainous True Companions of Ubermenschen (this doesn't go without the occasional internal frictions, though they have strict rules about settling those), and while they have a leader, the survival of individual members (including the leader) is not a priority the survival of the group as the whole is. Indeed, most of the members seem to be in specifically for the carnage. In fact, as they already steal all the common objects they need on a daily basis, they have very little interest in the luxury items they target, and seem to chose them mostly because they know these items will be heavily guarded. Which is why they get such a reputation: They are less famous for what they steal than for the hundreds of people they kill in the process. Unlike most other thieves, they generally don't rely on subtle strategy or minuted actions perpetually reenacting the Gordian Knot parable, they prefer to resort to brute force.
