Arukenimon

'Archnemon is a digimon villain, also called Arukenimon in the North American version. She is one of the major villains, taking over where Ken stopped.

When first encountered she appeared as a beautiful woman, this was later revealed to be a disguise. Her true form is that of a spider-woman with cow-like horns sticking out from under her matted grey hair and wearing a mask much like most of villains from the past. She often says she prefers true form to the disguise. Her favorite phrase about this is, "I feel pretty again!" In her human-form, she can use her hair-strands to create artificial digimon from Control Spires that (usually) obey her command.

She worked with partner Mummymon. The relationship was not particularly romantic, Archnemon is arrogant and rejects any advances by Mummymon, who stoically consoles himself with developing new plots. Archnemon was killed by MaloMyotismon, in a disturbing way.

Arukenimon was based on Ariadne, the woman from Greek mythology who was turned into a spider by Athena as punishment for boasting of being a better weaver than her.
