Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies will introduce a new, spider-like enemy type, but those who aren't keen on creatures that crawl around on eight legs will be able to activate the game's Arachnophobia mode to make its terrifying appearance a little more manageable.

Activision recently blew the doors off of how Zombies will work in Black Ops 6, detailing all of the new and classic features players can expect to see in the return of the round-based co-op mode. As part of the information dump, developer Treyarch revealed the Vermin, a horrific looking creepy-crawler that looks like it came straight out of John Carpenter's The Thing.

As described in the official Call of Duty blog, the Vermin are "large, spider-like ravenous scuttlers with a central thorax that seems to take the form of a screaming human head." They are weak on their own, but are dangerous in groups, ripping themselves free from fallen zombie hosts. To attack, the Vermin sprint and leap at foes, and can even spew a corrosive substance to kill their prey. They can also evolve and transform into another insect-like creature, the flying Parasite.
