The clan was a group of five Demons, the Father Spider Demon, Mother Spider Demon, Older Sister Spider Demon, Older Brother Spider Demon, and finally Rui, who portrayed himself as the youngest brother of the family, but in actuality was the true leader of the group. However, there were likely more members initially as the Older Sister noted that there where indeed more Demons located in Natagumo Mountain which was then shown in the Anime. It was shown that there was indeed more "siblings" to the Family: "The Oldest Sister", another "Younger Brother", "Youngest Brother", and the "Youngest Sister". However, they were all disposed of by Rui when they either refused to play along with his given "Family" roles or failed to live up to his expectations and were punished by having their intelligence removed and were then strung up in the trees until morning came and were burnt to death by the sun until only the Mother, Father, Older Brother, and Older Sister remained.

The Spider Family was an oddity, as Demons typically don't form groups. Although calling themselves a "Family", the clan was highly dysfunctional at best and downright violent and sadistic at worst within their own kin, with torturous levels of physical and psychological abuse being commonly practiced. There was no real love or trust between its members at all, as Tanjiro put it, it was a fake that reeked of mistrust, fear and disgust.

Rui, however, took to great lengths to try to protect this "Family" even if they all for the most part lived completely terrified of him. Nonetheless the clan's members were all fairly powerful demons who preyed on many humans and spelled the doom of many Demon Slaying Corps' Mizunoto.
