Lots of different inspirations went into this one, conceptually it takes the most out of cyclosa orb weaver spiders, that create decoys of larger looking spiders in their webs out of silk and various debree. So the idea here is, the actual spider is the tiny one on the belly, mostly submerged within the cocoon, the rest of the body is made out of spider silk, and is puppeted by the tiny spider. Visually I went with zombie spiders that get fungal infection
