Lucas

Lucas is the title character of Lucas the Spider. He is a brown spider who made his first appearance online on November 5th, 2017, in Lucas the Spider (pilot). He dreams of being a musician, and in his past time, he enjoys exploring houses, backyards, and other creatures. He is also very playful and he likes to greet and be kind to everyone. So far, he has gained millions of views for his videos and has over a million subscribers. He has been reasonably dubbed the "World's Cutest Spider."

Appearance
Lucas's official species is a jumping spider. He has four eyes (two large ones in the center, and two smaller ones next to them), brown fur, and eight legs. His two front legs can grab different things. He is able to jump long distances, run fast, and like all spiders, can spin silk (though not a web, being a jumping spider). He is also able to play small instruments.

Personality
Lucas is constantly happy and warm-hearted. He always likes to be friends with everyone and doesn't seem afraid of anything (except the "Polar bear" dog). He is curious, playful, and musical. He also loves music and is a great singer. He also seems to be friends with all the viewers too. Unlike most spiders, he doesn’t find bugs tasty.

Background
Lucas was created by Joshua Slice. As a professional animator, Joshua enjoys spending his time making funny animations. His idea for Lucas came when he saw a picture of a cute jumping spider resting inside a leaf. So, he thought, "how cute could I make a spider?" And that was when Lucas was born. He designed Lucas using CGI on his computer. He works on all the rigging, modeling, animation, and lighting. Lucas is voiced by his five-year-old nephew, Lucas Slice, which lead to the friendly arachnid's name. To this day, he and his nephew are still bringing love to spiders and curing people's arachnophobia.
