A horrible Spider God with a multitude of obscure and evil priestesses. He is generally worshipped in the form of a great, black statue carved out of smooth stone representing him. Only pain and disease can be asked from this fierce god, who never neglects his worshippers of his deathly "gifts". The Spider God is either called Zath or Omm.
Omm vs. Zath vs. Arachna
According to Conan the Barbarian #13, before Marvel Comics had the rights to any material other than Robert E.Howard's writing, Roy Thomas named the Spider God Omm. Later, when Marvel received the rights to use material by L.Sprague DeCamp, this Spider God was refered to as Zath in the novel Conan and the Spider God.
