Ariados is a Pokémon that resembles a spider. It has a red body with black stripes and markings on its rear that form a face. In the center of its head is a small, white horn. Additionally, it also has small purple eyes and a pair of white mandibles. Ariados has four yellow legs with purple stripes; long, pointed growths on its back appear to be remnants of its fifth and sixth legs. Ariados's feet are tipped with tiny hooked claws that enable it to scuttle on ceilings and vertical walls. It spins a single strand of a special string endlessly out of its rear. The string can also be spun from its mouth; however, it is hard to tell which end is which.
Ariados is a red Pokémon that resembles a spider. It has purple eyes, a pair of white {{wp|Mandible (arthropod mouthpart)|mandibles}}, and a white horn on its forehead. Around its abdomen are two black stripes and there are two black spots and a yellow {{wp|spinneret}} on its rear. The spots and spinneret together form a pattern similar to a face. Thread can be produced from both its spinneret and its mouth. It has four yellow legs with two purple bands each; on its back are yellow structures similar to its legs with a single purple stripe each. Its feet are tipped with tiny hooks that allow it to climb ceilings and vertical walls.


Rather than making a nest in one specific spot, it wanders to hunt aggressively after darkness falls. It will attach silk to its prey and set it free. Later, it tracks the silk to the prey and its friends. It spews thread on prey before biting into them with its fangs. Ariados makes its nest in the depths of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forest}}. Ariados and its pre-evolution {{p|Spinarak}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Toxic Thread}}.
Ariados makes its nest in the depths of the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forest}} and leaves after dark to hunt prey. While Ariados wanders in search of prey, it spins a single thread from its rear that leads back to its nest. When prey is captured, it is wrapped in thread and then attacked by fangs. Ariados then drinks the victim’s bodily fluids at leisure. Sometimes, it will instead release prey with only a single thread attached. The thread is then followed to both the caught prey and its friends. Ariados and its pre-evolution {{p|Spinarak}} are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Toxic Thread}}. In the past, this was also true of {{m|Spider Web}}.
