Monster File Description
A queen that reigns as the most powerful of spider monsters. Boasting a size so large it can cause destruction just by walking, it is said to be powerful enough that even a single individual can destroy an entire country. Even an army cannot defeat a queen taratect, yet the queen often uses Egg-Laying to increase the number of its minions. There are only 5 in the entire world, each of them considered the most powerful monster in its area. A legendary-class monster that cannot be defeated by humans.

Synopsis
One of the Queen Taratects gave birth to Kumoko. This one is nicknamed "Mother". Kumoko tries to avoid her as much as possible due to her extreme violence and power. Kumoko meets her again in the Middle Stratum of the Great Elroe Labyrinth and again when Kumoko leaves the Labyrinth.

Mother attempts to kill Kumoko because Kumoko's parallel minds are eating at her soul. She is personally killed by Kumoko in a weakened state, reducing their total global numbers to four.

Despite being vulnerable to the fire attribute, Mother's strength stats eclipse Fire Dragon Rend's. With a single breath attack she eradicates Rend's army and seriously injures him, then leaves without bothering to finish him off.

Known Individuals

 * "Mother": a Queen living in the depths of the Great Elroe Labyrinth. She is considered the strongest monster native to the Great Elroe Labyrinth and the original progenitor of all spiders native to the Labyrinth.
 * Another queen lives in the forest nearby the Elf Village.

Trivia

 * Despite having the advanced Black Magic, both Mother and the generic Queen Taratect lack the Magic Power Operation skill. This is probably an error, seeing as Mother is shown using Dark Magic.
