People suffering with arachnophobia should really stay away from Liverpool.

Commuters arriving at Liverpool's Lime Street station were greeted by a 50ft (15m) high mechanical spider clinging to a nearby redundant office block.

The 37-tonne beast heralds the start of a five-day piece of street theatre as part of the Capital of Culture year.

It has been built by French company La Machine, which in 2006 brought the streets of London to a standstill with the Sultan's Elephant.

The spider is believed to be "waking up" on Friday.

It will descend from its current position on the side of Concourse House on Thursday to be moved to the city's new arena, before coming to life on Friday.

The creature will then begin exploring the city later that evening.

That is one horrifying looking monstrosity.
 
This is to mark Liverpool as the "city of culture". Gawd fail.
 
All they need now is an autocannon mounted on that thing.
 
i don't think it's a real spider. probably CGI or something.
 
Well if it is a real one let's hope it's not a Brown Recluse. Those are the ones that get me. D:
 
That is AWESOME.
Looks like that took a ton of work, what a nice sculpt and nice amount of mechanical work.
 
It's real, and it walks. Saw it in the papers. Awesome shit.
