Ariados's appearance is based on the ''{{wp|Myrmarachne formicaria}}'' spider, but with the prosoma (thorax and head area) and opisthosoma (abdominal area) reversed, fitting with its Pokédex entry. Its ability to spin string from its mouth and its [[Toxic Thread (move)|signature move]] likely refer to {{wp|Spitting spider|spitting spiders}}, which spit venomous silk from their {{wp|chelicerae}} to capture prey. | Ariados's appearance is based on the ''{{wp|Myrmarachne formicaria}}'' spider, but with the prosoma (thorax and head area) and opisthosoma (abdominal area) reversed, fitting with its Pokédex entry.
