Notes[]
- Like Valkyrie and Sylphi before him, Arachne is a male Phantom based on a figure of mythology associated with females. Unlike the two previous Phantoms, however, Arachne was a female human cursed by the goddess Athena.
- Oddly enough, Arachne has what looks like bat ears.
- Arachne's axe is the same axe Sylphi once wielded.
- Arachne's costume is modified from Manticore's costume.
- He is the only Phantom seen within the series to not have his human form shown. The only other Phantom sharing this distinction is the movie exclusive Khepri.
