Appearance
Clatterclaws is a giant spider, which could possibly be inspired by a female barn funnel weaver (Tegenaria domestica). She has brown fur with black spots all over her body. Her cephalothorax has a darker, V shaped pattern on it, two black dots on the front representing her eyes and a pair of pedipalps. She has eight legs, all coming out of her cephalothorax. Her abdomen has a black pattern on it as well as two spinnerets at the bottom. While bound to the mortal world, Clatterclaws sits atop a spider web covering the whole room. She spawns many little spiders while using many of her powers.

Trivia
- Clatterclaws is way bigger in the intro than in game.
- Clatterclaws is a lot larger than what Barn funnel weavers can achieve.
- At one point in development, Clatterclaws would have spawned on the floor instead of the ceiling.
- Despite having a band 4 power from the start, Clatterclaws can learn Twisted Vines in that slot according to game files and the official guide. This power was made available as a swappable option for her in Complete Edition.
- Clatterclaws is inspired by a 1983 dark fantasy movie Something Wicked This Way Comes.
- Despite this inspiration, Clatterclaws wasn't planned to appear in the Something Wicked level despite both sharing the inspiration.
