Spider has always been my favorite of the cut Colossi, but I wish it went by a less... on the nose name.
I'm not quite sure how the original 16 got their common names, but I just wanted to do this little experiment, even if the name chosen here most definitely won't catch on.
Here are a few names I cam up with! I've tried to find names that sound similar and would fit in with the original 16. Comment which one you think fits best, or suggest your own! I just want to feel more connected to this big guy, don't you? My personal favorite names are highlighted in bold and italics.
Key:
L means the name is Latin in origin translating into words such as cut, stab, hit, thrust, wound, scratch, etc.
Otherwise, the name's origin will be stated.
