History
Known as All-Hunger by the Symbiotes, the Arachniote was a legendary monster from Klyntar. It was formed when two Symbiotes committed heresy and bonded with one another, separating from the Symbiote Hive-Mind.[1] The Arachniote was considered extremely dangerous, to the point where even Knull was afraid of it.[2]

During the Venom War, Meridius spawned the Arachniote from the symbiote biomass. Sneering at the Venom Symbiote having gone crawling back to Peter Parker, Meridius declared that the only thing he was going to enjoy more than destroying the world was watching the symbiote suffer as everyone it cares about died. Saying that in the end it would be his again, Meridius pulled out a button and pressed it. Across the city, Spider-Man and Hobgoblin's banter was cut off as symbiote matter suddenly engulfed Hobgoblin and the other mind-controlled citizens, a voice triumphantly declaring that it was finally free. Fully subsuming its victims, the symbiote manifests into a squid-headed monster with a spider-like body and declares itself to be the Arachniote.[2]
As Spider-Man and Jackpot struggled to comprehend what they're looking at, the Venom symbiote told Peter the origin of Arachniote.[2] Jackpot hit it with pure antimatter, which made the Arachniote lose form and the heroes to consider the ordeal over. However, in short order the Arachniote reformed itself again around Jackpot.[1] Spider-Man, now sans the Venom symbiote, came back and dove straight into the Arachniote's maw, where he found Jackpot and with their combined power exploded it from the inside once again.[3]Trivia
