I just saw
 
Part No: 68035  Name: Minifigure, Headgear Mask with Six Spider Leg Horns
* 
68035 Minifigure, Headgear Mask with Six Spider Leg Horns
Parts: Minifigure, Headgear
arrived in the catalogue.

Three Spider Legs Horns”?  I count 6 legs.

Yes, I could have made a change request but I wanted to know if there was a rationale
first.

No rationale - not sure what happened there as it did say six when it was submitted
for approval - I thought it strange that it wasn't eight given that it was
a spider.

Thanks for spotting it

Okay.  One of these bugs humans have too
Thanks for the change.


   I thought it strange that it wasn't eight given that it was

Yeah, it’s amazing the number of people who don’t know or care that spiders
have eight legs¹.  “Artistic licence,” like Mickey has only four fingers, or
Shelob a sting in the…, well, where Sam put it

(¹Or ten with the pedipalps.  I never got why these didn’t count.)


  Thanks for spotting it

It was pure luck: I regularly check new parts but I generally only look at the
pretty pictures

The Spider-Queen's mech/mount in the set has eight legs, so LEGO clearly
knows how many legs spiders should have. I assume that the headdress has
only six "legs", since any more would either just look like antlers (sh496),
restrict movement, or be prone to breakage at this size.

I don't know anything about the misnumbering in the name, but I do think
it's a very interesting new part. Do you know what minifig is goes to or
what set it comes in?

Thanks! I was guessing it belonged to some new Ninjago villain, but I was wrong.
