(Okay, this might be a bit of a cheat, as this one was made back in 2019, but I did plan to show this anyway on the dA gallery, as well as give some context to the accompanying Digimon pic...)

After the defeat of Myotismon, Arachnemon finds herself restored along with the Digital World that he ravaged in his conquest of both digital and real worlds. Frustrated by the betrayal of her (now former) master, she decides to wander off on her own, but if being foiled by those annoying Digi-Destined was bad enough, she found that her cohort, and frequent admirer Mummymon had also returned.

The duo explored the Digital World as it changed over time, and, catching a Digimon Train, they arrive at the Forest Terminal's Fortuneteller Village. Pushing through the clearly fraudulent stalls, one catches her attention with a strange fortune: "In a world beyond ours, a spirit of machines will push you past your limit." Mummymon laughs, saying that there's no such thing at all among the Ancient Digimon Spirits, and they walk off.

Several (Real-world) years later, and not much has changed in Arachnemon's life, having grown bored watching on the sidelines as good fights evil multiple times in the Digital World - though she notes a recent adventure that brings back memories. Recalling the odd fortune back in the village, she decides to leave her temporary home. Whether this "spirit of machines" existed didn't matter to her, but a change of scenery was more exciting.

Emerging in the real world (but not without some trial and error) at last, she ends up being wound up among a group of heroes. Normally disinterested in their goal - she finds one of their number matching the fortune exactly: Gearmon, The Spirit of The Machine!

Utilising the spirit's ability of Overdrive Evolution, Arachnemon (her original spider-like form) becomes stronger, changing into a form which mixes her human and spider forms: Mygalomon! Along with using her more familiar abilities, she gains new skills, including the Spinnerette Missile, the 8-Limb Form Stance, and Eyes of Arachne. She reluctantly joins the heroes in their apparent quest, as the only source of her new powers is with them, and the transformation, much like other evolutionary forms, is temporary.

My fascination with Arachnemon (or Arukenimon in the localisation) continued to the point where I wanted to make an extra form for her, called Mygalomon, so named for the genus of spiders that include tarantulas, so that meant I designed her to be large, heavily built and pretty strong, whilst merging both her human and spider forms, as shown to the left.

As for the character who grants her this new power? You'll see more of that soon...
