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 {{m|Toxic Thread|signature move}} likely refer to {{wp|spitting spider}}s, which spit venomous silk from their {{wp|chelicerae}} to capture prey. Its Sun Pokédex entry and erect, spine-like "hind legs" suggest that it may also draw inspiration from various {{wp|orb-weaver spider}}s (such as the {{wp|Nephila clavata|Jorō spider}} and {{wp|Micrathena sagittata|arrow-shaped micrathena}}) | 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.
