The Giant Evil Tarantula race is a sub-species of Giant Evil Spiders, a race found mostly in the Sultanate of Dire Arachnia. Legand has it that a number of normal tarantulas escaped from a genetic research facility in Tanah Burung and devoured a team of local footballers. Since then, the Tarantula race has thrived. It is best known for a thoroughly mediocre performance in the short-lived Giant Evil Spider Football League (GESFL).

Giant Evil Tarantulas average 2.5 metres in height and have an average IQ of about 75. They are covered in nasty hair in varying colours and have eight legs, each meaty enough to club a human to death. Their teeth are large and sharp, and they smell something fierce. The traditional Tarantula greeting is: "Hi! You're so cute I could eat you up!" This is frequently followed by the devouring of the guest.

Tarantulas' desire to feed upon human flesh, and their human neighbours' desire to squish them like the nasty bugs they are, have led to poor relations. Most of the Tarantulas fled their original home to a nice dank swamp in the Greenfields region to found a nation they called Tanah Tarantula. However, about 5,000 still live in the Burungi jungles, resisting all attempts to drive them out.
