Jorougumo is a demon in the series.
History[]
Jorougumo is a type of spider demon that can change its appearance to that of a seductive woman. It can be written in Japanese as either "Binding Bride" or "Whore Spider." In Edo legend, a beautiful woman would lure a man into a shack and play a Japanese lute called a biwa. While her victim is distracted by the instrument's melodies, she binds him in spider silk to later devour him. Legends say that a spider must be 400 years old before it gains magical powers, which it then uses to transform into a beautiful woman so as to ask a samurai to marry her. It may also take the form of a young woman carrying a baby, which might be the spider's egg-sack.

Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon[]
"A spider demon from Japanese lore, this water spirit is said to live inside ponds or waterfalls. She hunts for humans by waiting near the water’s edge, using her web to drag prey underwater."
Jorougumo is a demon of the Pagan Order and first shows up in the Prologue during the Ritual of Battle that Raidou must go through. She tries to trick Raidou and company into thinking that she's the second demon that he is supposed to control during the exercise. Her deception is revealed upon the arrival of Frost Alraune, forcing her to admit that she is the last test of the ritual that Raidou must undergo. She then vows not to go easy on the party, as she has her mind set on keeping Raidou for herself.
Jorougumo will begin appearing in normal encounters from the Great Summoner Hall onwards.
