Various spiders could be taken inspiration from for the aliens, however I think adding spider like units for utility rather than damage would be an interesting concept. For example maybe a unit that can spread webs along the ground that either expand the nests building range so long as it's connected to it at least in part, or slows down enemies or speeds up allies, or even both. You could also take inspiration from trap-door spiders and have units that create 'web holes' so your other units can hide in them. Honestly I just love spiders and think utility based units would be very fun in lobbies especially ones with higher player counts. There's plenty of equivalents you could do with the humans as well, roads, forts, fox-holes, trenches, ect.
