This hidden world is called Arachna. It's a place where giant, mechanical spiders are alive and can be ridden! Hunter quickly makes new friends there. Together, they become "Spider Riders."
Their mission is super important: they must protect Arachna. An army of scary insect-like creatures, called mutants, is trying to take over. Hunter and his friends ride their powerful mechanical spiders into battle to save their new home.
