The captured creature exists on the battlefield at all times, but cannot attack, block, nor can its activated abilities be activated while it is captured. While a creature is captured, treat anything that targets one creature as targeting both creatures. When a creature breaks free, it is no longer captured, and the capturer ceases to exist until the creature is captured again. If either side the captured creature or the capturer would leave the battlefield, the whole card leaves the battlefield, but count two separate instances of the card leaving that way.
This isn't a super-serious idea, just an attempt to make a split creature card with a logical flavor. Also, I had been thinking of spider dragon, but rather than just a make a boring-old spider-themed dragon, a spider that caught a dragon.
I expected this to be a top-down reference to Dark Soul's Duke's Dear Freja.

Please elaborate on how this works with Prey Upon and Pyrotechnics.
Is the back supposed to have an empty type-line? o.Ô
When I created Umara Patrol // Umara Patrol, I opted to make the multitude of creatures tokens, because it really mattered to have them all on the battlefield. I'm not so certain the same can be said about capturing.
We already have phased out and exiled creatures be disabled prisoners. No large flavor disconnect in ceasing the existence of the Dragon.
Missing a whole type line
Prey Upon makes the target fight both creatures, so, it needs to deal at least four damage to Arrogant Dragon so that the creatures of the card die. Since both Arrogant Dragon and Spider of a Deadly Web have Ward, opponent who cast Prey Upon will need to pay 4 life and 4 mana, which is ouch.
Pyrotechnics has a more unique interaction. Since you're splitting the damage over targets, but any time one creature becomes a target, the other creature becomes a target as well, you can choose each side separately to deal twice the damage. If you split two damage to Arrogant Dragon and two more to Spider of a Deadly Web, each creature would take a total of four damage.
