Veronica the Arachne
Veronica is a female Arachne, a half human, half spider, first seen in Dragon Breath. She works as a merchant at a stand in the Magus Bazaar selling magical items. Upon their first encounter, Jake was taken by surprise to discover her arachnid lower half. Fu was trying to help Jake find a date for a school dance and tried to get him to ask her as he thought Jake might be into girls with legs. However Jake had a little problem with Veronica's "eight hairy spider legs".
Veronica was one of Fu's many "lady" friends, and apparently one of his still-active love interests. She made another appearance in The Eye of Beholder as an entry in the Miss Magical World Beauty Pageant to help provide Jake and company cover for their mission.
Veronica's first appearance in the show
Veronica was also seen in Halloween Bash, Hong Kong Nights, and Keeping Shop where she phoned Fu with a warning that the Biker Trolls were back to wreck havoc.While she makes several appearances in the show, she generally did not play vital roles except for her part in the Miss Magical World Beauty Pageant as Jake's way onto Eli Pandarus' island, and in helping rescue Lao Shi from the Dark Dragon in Hong Kong Nights.

Trivia
- Fu says her name as "V-V-Veronica" in a suggestive and flirtatious manner in Dragon Breath and The Eye of Beholder.
- Veronica, among others, was voicedby Tara Strong.
- Veronica is one of Fu Dog's many sources of intel from which he gets information from.
- Hong Kong Nights is the only episode where Veronica is seen using spider webs and spinning silk.
- In The Eye of Beholder when Jake, Fu Dog, and Lao Shi find Veronica, When Fu said Jake might remember her, it was not until she stepped out from behind a crate to reveal her lower half that Jake's memory was jogged.
- Later at the pageant, she fell while practicing her walk, claiming she "broke her leg". The joke behind this is she has multiple legs, so it was hard to distinguish which one was injured.
