Revision as of 14:59, 11 November 2019


Type-6805, codenamed "The Lovers" (ラヴァース, Ravāsu?), was a creature consisting of a small male tarantula connected to a larger female. Together, they are the second boss in The House of the Dead 4.

The male tarantula slashes prey with his massive spiked legs; the female may bite players, incapacitating them with webbing, or give birth to attacking offspring (Taran). The Lovers' weak point is the male spider's head.

Bestiary Overview

The Lovers are a conjoined pair of massive tarantulas. Like Judgment from The House of the Dead 2, they share a bond; all harm to the male spider (which serves as the duo's weak point) is also inflicted on the female. Their exoskeleton is largely invulnerable, with the male using his legs to block gunfire.

The tarantulas pursue players in a construction elevator, climbing the girders to attack. The female can produce a swarm of Tarans, baby spiders which latch on the screen for a bite attack and die in one shot.

While the male tarantula serves as the Lovers' weak point, shooting the female tarantula's abdomen inflicts chip damage.

Appearances

The House of the Dead 4

The Lovers were one of several creatures unleashed by the late Caleb Goldman, head of the DBR Corporation and financier of Dr. Roy Curien's research, in a posthumous 2003 outbreak. Goldman sought using the creatures to counteract human overpopulation, thus protecting nature.

AMS agents James Taylor and Kate Green battled the outbreak underground. Although not yet aware of his involvement, they discovered Goldman's plan to launch nuclear missiles worldwide. The agents took a construction elevator to the surface, but the Lovers ambushed them and broke the lift. James and Kate killed the Lovers -- which fell to their deaths in a crevice -- but were forced to take a detour through the subway.

Loving Deads: The House of the Dead EX

The Lovers make a cameo appearance in a mini-game involving using the foot petal to stomp spiders.
