JorÅgumo (Japanese Kanji: çµ¡æ°å©¦, Hiragana: ãããããã) is a type of YÅkai, a creature, ghost or goblin of Japanese folklore. According to some stories, a JorÅgumo is a spider that can change its appearance into that of a seductive woman.In Japanese Kanji, JorÅgumo is written as  çµ¡æ°å©¦  (literally meaning binding bride) or  å¥³éèè  (literally meaning whore spider).JorÅgumo can also refer to some species of spiders, but in casual use it can refer to the Nephila and Argiope spiders.Japanese-speaking entomologists use the katakana form of JorÅgumo (ã¸ã§ã­ã¦ã°ã¢) to refer, exclusively, to the spider species Nephila clavata. In Digimon Adventure 02, one of the antagonists, Arukenimon (or Arachnemon in the Japanese version), is based loosely off of the JorÅgumo. 2  She shape-shifts between a normal, human-looking woman and a spider-woman.
