The car is a two-door softtop coupe or convertible found in the [[Residential District|Residential]] and [[Industrial District]]s of [[Anywhere City]], more or less appearing as a mid-range two-door more suited for casual driving rather than for speedy travel. The Arachnid name may be a play of "[[wp:Roadster|spider]]" or "[[wp:Roadster|spyder]]", alternate terms for a convertible roadster; "[[wp:arachnid|arachnid]]" is actually an umbrella term for joint-legged invertebrate animals that includes [[wp:spider|spider]]s. The car's has no clear source of inspiration, although the [[wp:Alfa Romeo Spider|Alfa Romeo Spider]] is speculated.

Bearing "Spider" as its internal name, the Arachnid's name is a play of "[[wp:Roadster|spider]]" or "[[wp:Roadster|spyder]]", alternate terms for a convertible roadster; "[[wp:arachnid|arachnid]]" is actually an umbrella term for joint-legged invertebrate animals that includes [[wp:spider|spider]]s.

In terms of performance, the Arachnid is a good starter vehicle primarily suited for travel from point A to point B (in fact, the car is offered to the player as they begin at the Residential District's [[Jesus Saves]]), but is not practical for chases or timed missions. The car suffers from low acceleration and speed, although these traits allow the car to steer and brake better. When [[Crusher|crushed]], the car gives the player a [[Shotgun]] in the Residential District and a [[Machine Gun]] in the Industrial District.
