How about 'Acromantula', then? In the Harry Potter series this is a monstrous men-eating spider. I like the spider connection, because spiders have 8 legs, and the W-then-B moves along 8 rays.
And it keeps me happy that it also starts with 'A', as the Fairy-Max implementation of Team-Mate Chess uses this piece with A as ID, and changing that would break backward compatibility with the previously saved games.
