Dr. James Atherton

In this first generation, the original male also produced a queen, and together they will construct a primary nest which the queen will guard. But eventually, she will create reproductive offspring of her own. And when that happens, this town is dead... and the next town... and the next town... and the next one, and so on.

Dr. James Atherton
[stroking the web]

Supper's, ready...come and get it [hears a screech and turns too late to see a giant spider leaping onto his neck and screams as it sinks its fangs into his neck]
