I’ve been wondering about him for sooo long…
No, seriously. Once he saw that spider & web in the hollow of a tree trunk, it’s like his part of the story ended right there. I’d been wondering about that ever since.
Eight limbs? A were-spider? And thus a real menace to fairies? What ever happened to the guy who went looking for spiders to purge the castle of the fairy infestation a couple of years back? Could this be he?
And what is this about humans not being able to see fairies? That’s not exactly consistent with a lot of the previous narrative!
not true actually. its been established that fairies can’t be seen by humans unless they reveal themselves to them. Until that moment they appear as innocent butterflies. This was established i believe in the blogs with attitude as Jaycee talking to her was seen as talking to a butterfly in his apartment by his friends until she revealed her nature to them.
It could be an arachnid parasite that takes people over and uses them as dummies to communicate and whatnot. I see the spider part has its own head, anyway.
for proof, take a closer look at the two spider-legs holding our errant Lurker up to the main body of the spider, contrasted with the six – not eight – spider-legs used for walking.
I’d say that “Shelob” (the name on the signs in strip 205) is using the Lurker as a meat-puppet for speaking. Sadly, I think the Lurker is no longer among the living, going by the blue-white of the feet, arms, and face.
I was afraid for a moment it was something like the future version of Dr. Smith from the Lost in Space movie. Instead it’s more like one of the Independence Day aliens from the Area 51 scenes, except their meat puppets apparently could survive, according to the sequel.

Is that the Lurker?

Was thinking that as well, he was last seen on a quest to find spiders to deal with the Gnat-infestation

Definitely the dude who went to find spiders. Last seen in page 205. Dude was ok. He could still be alive…maybe…possibly…hopefully.

Agreed.

Count again: four legs for walking, two for holding on like a backpack, and two between the legs
Pry
You… you know who Shelob is, right?
Pry
Hm, my comment came across as rude when it was meant to be funny. Sorry about that!
The Phantom's Belch
Of course I know who Shelob is! What self-respecting geek does not? 🙂

His cat he called her, but she owned him not.

The body is still animated. Notice the arms removing the hood.
Lurker
Help! I’ve been zombified!
Can’t think of a worse fate, being eaten would have at least provided closure.
Oh well, can’t argue with the script.
Sovrin
Oh god! He’s in the comment section now!

Lurker has been in the comments for a long time now

Worst of both tropes, definitely.

I don’t think they’ll hugging their way out of this pickle.

TBH, I’d rather die by bear hug than a spider hug…
