* The cover (and [[CoversAlwaysLie just the cover]]) of ''[[http://c.dv1.us/p1/779/003779-d0.jpg Night Screams]]''.

* ''Franchise/{{Warcraft}}'':

* Featured in "WebOriginal/SocietyOfVirtue" episode "Two Men and a Spiderweb"

* This appears in the ''Series/{{Angel}}'' episode "Couplet", Fred and Gunn are in the flesh-eating tree's roots.

%%** Also ''Planet of the Spiders'', which is about a planet overrun with giant spiders.%%ZCE
%%** Also ''The Web Planet''.%%ZCE

* ''Series/TheXFiles'' had this in the episode "Darkness Falls". It's different in that the subjects are killed before being cocooned(as seen by the badly-eaten corpses of loggers earlier in the episode). It's possible that the bugs were just storing food, or leaving it for their babies.

* The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' moves String Shot, which lowers the opponent's speed, Spider Web, which completely prevents the target from escaping, Sticky Web, which lowers Speed stat by one on a Pokemon switching in, and Electroweb, which deals [[ShockAndAwe electric damage]] ''and'' lowers the target's speed. Both families of spider Pokémon can learn all of these, and it's pretty obvious how they all work.

* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'':

** A moth demon called Gatenmaru does wrap both Inu Yasha and Miroku inside a poisonous, corrosive cocoon.
** Earlier the Kumogashira (spider demons) try to do this to Inu Yasha.

[[folder: Anime And Manga ]]
* Happens to Hitomi in one episode of ''Anime/DontLeaveMeAloneDaisy''.

* Happens a couple times in ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' when they run across spider-based mons. In early episodes, even the relatively useless (in the games) "string shot" attack could do this.

* Tsuchigumo character from ''Manga/BinbougamiGa'' is shown to do this to herself while sleeping.

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

** Spider-Man does this to anyone he needs really tied down. [[PowerPerversionPotential And occasionally his wife.]]

* Happens to Choronzon in ''Comicbook/TheSandman''.

* Samhain on [[http://hackslashinc.com/1/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/hackslash_12_A_72.jpg this]] ''ComicBook/HackSlash: The Series'' cover.

[[folder:FanFic]]

[[folder: Literature ]]
* Shelob does this to Frodo in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
** And the giant spiders of Mirkwood do it to twelve of the thirteen dwarves (with Thorin being elsewhere) in ''Literature/TheHobbit''.

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** "[[Recap/DoctorWho2006CSTheRunawayBride The Runaway Bride]]" has this.
** Also ''Planet of the Spiders'', which is about a planet overrun with giant spiders.
** Also ''The Web Planet''.

[[folder: Tabletop RPG ]]
* Basic ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' module M5 ''Talons of Night''. Finnister [=MacAlister=] and any other captive {{NPC}}s are found paralyzed and wrapped up in web with egg sacs bound to their chests - they're intended to be food for the baby spiders.
** You can also cast the Web spell yourself! That version lasts up to a few hours (depending on the caster's level) unless the victim can break or wriggle out first. (Fire can free a victim quickly, but that usually hurts the victim in the process.)
* ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu''. Very likely to happen to anyone who tangles with the giant spider-like Great Old One named Atlach-Nacha or Leng Spiders.
* In ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'' the Trip Line Spider has no trouble webbing humanoids up for later, along with making traps.

* ''VideoGame/DarkMessiah''
* ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}''
* Temporarily happens to your character in ''{{Limbo}}''. You have to make an escape while still covered in webbing, greatly reducing your mobility. It's a bit of a comic relief moment, actually, unless you trip into a pit of spikes...

* One of the bosses in ''VideoGame/MuramasaTheDemonBlade'' does this to Torahime.

* Any area in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' that includes Giant Spider enemies is bound to have quite a few of these to loot.
** The spiders can also do this to playable characters, stunning them for a short period of time.

* Level three Spider Lair upgrade in the ''Battle For Middle Earth II'' ''Film/LordOfTheRings''' RTS.

* ''VideoGame/PathwaysIntoDarkness'' states that if you are successfully killed by giant spiders, [[HaveANiceDeath they web up your body and drag you away to be eaten.]]
* The ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' moves "String Shot," which lowers the opponent's speed, "Spider Web," which completely prevents the target from escaping, and "Electroweb," which deals [[ShockAndAwe electric damage]] ''and'' lowers the target's speed. Both families of spider Pokémon can learn all of these, and it's pretty obvious how they all work.
** As of Gen VI, there is "Sticky Web", which lowers Speed stat by one on a Pokemon switching in.

** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' - Happens to Claire Redfield, in a ShoutOut to the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' trilogy. And there's a webbed-up corpse in the moth corridor.
** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilOutbreak'' - Characters that get grabbed by the moth in "Below Freezing Point" will be found webbed to a wall several floors below.

* A handful of minions meet this fate in ''VideoGame/OverlordII'' after your ship is wrecked on a spider infested tropical island. You can rescue them, though.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''

* ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunter Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate]]'' introduces the Nerscylla, a gigantic spider that attempts to do this to your hunter. If it's successful, the Nerscylla will either attempt to bite you with its huge pincers to inflict poison or sting you to put you to sleep.

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* This seemed to happen to at least one character on ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' every time Jeff showed up.
** At least Jeff was a friendly spider. The Spider Queen, who appeared on the made-for-TV movie ''Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen'' was much nastier, and she tended to tie up victims this way too.

* Creator/ScarlettJohansson gets cocooned by a GiantSpider in ''Film/EightLeggedFreaks'', as do several other people.

* ''Franchise/{{Warhammer}}'':

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', you can find some corpses in dungeons like this. In the first plot-relevant dungeon you explore, you find a guy still alive and webbed to the wall. He promises to tell you everything if you cut him free. [[spoiler:Of course, the instant you do so, he takes off running and calls you a fool. [[DeathByIrony Then he dies to living skeletons or traps later along the way unless you kill him first]].]]
** One spider-filled cave even has the corpses of wooly mammoths webbed up this way. It's not entirely clear how one of them fit deep inside the cave.

* Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheMist'' has several people cocooned by monstrous spider-like things from the mist. Since they're able to cocoon people despite their webs being caustic enough to cut off people's limbs in other scenes, they presumably can spin different types of webbing. (As do ordinary spiders.)
* Some of ''Literature/{{IT}}'''s victims are webbed up for later eating after their [[MindRape brains are broken by the Deadlights]].

* Searching in Website/DeviantArt for "webbed" or "cocooned" in their search box. You will find TONS of examples there.
** Like [[http://solidzesnake.deviantart.com/art/Webbed-Yoko-474742272 Webbed Yoko]]
** And [[http://solidzesnake.deviantart.com/art/Show-you-how-to-web-371163803 Shoe you how to web]]
** And then there's a [[http://azairas.deviantart.com/favourites/59807919/Webbed Webbed]] collection...

* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' has a few boss encounters where either the mooks or the bosses can cast a web wrap. Notably Maexxna, the final boss of Naxxramas' Arachnid Quarter, will cast web wrap against the entire raid a number of times during the encounter. Web-wrapped [=NPCs=] occur in several arachnid-populated areas as well.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica'' - Happens to Claire Redfield, in a ShoutOut to the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' trilogy. And there's a webbed-up corpse in the moth corridor.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Doom}} 3'', in areas populated with Trites, a number of webbed corpses are scattered around. Being related to them, Vagaries also have them in their choice of decoration. An interesting example is in the first Vagary's lair: one of the bodies on the ceiling twitches like crazy when you're still seeing the place through a window[[note]]possibly because of [[GoodBadBugs faulty collision detection]], as it only starts moving after the bay door closes after a scripted scene[[/note]], but by the time you get inside, it's [[{{Pun}} dead]] still.

* ''WarhammerOnline'' has several quests to go into a town overrun with "Silkens", giant mutant spiders that wrap victims in cocoons. One of them is to [[KillItWithFire burn the cocoons]] of marauders who have [[YouHaveFailedMe proven too weak]] to the cause [[FateWorseThanDeath by being cocooned as food/gestation units]] and need to be destroyed to ensure the weakness is purged. Another is to gather the blood of a prominent villager and anoint a banner with it - the villager happens to have already been cocooned, so you need only stab him and gather the blood from the twitching, prone cocoon.

%%* [[ImAMarvelAndImADC "Please don't tell anyone I webbed myself..."]]

* In ''{{Bionicle}}'', the Toa Metru get webbed up by the Visorak and subsequently mutated into [[BeastMan Beast Men]].

* Shelob does this to Frodo in ''Literature/LordOfTheRings''.
