How would you make an arachnopobia-friendly version of this fight without making it unrecognizable?

So my other topic about arachnophobia thread kinda got completely derailed. Thankfully, I’ve narrowed down some of the questions I have about arachnophobia.

Anyway, what my question to you dear humans, is how would you make this bossfight from Silksong acceptable for the viewing of arachnophobic people without making it completely unrecognizeable?

it’s pretty anthropomorphic for a spider, so I doubt it’s a big issue tbh
but you could edit the sprite to have 2 legs instead of 4 and it’d just be a regular bug instead

Oh and to make it recognisable
“WIDOW” (and instead of the fangs make it just a rectangle for the hitbox)

If they’re afraid of something vaguely spider shaped I’m surprised they even got past deepnest (if they even played and beat hollow knight)

Also I’d recommend blurring the video (if possible) to avoid giving spoilers

if this triggers arachnophobia then does that mean those people would have an aneurysm if i did this

Your topics really only serve to show that you’ve no idea what a spider is.
