I would say in the case of a few it is a no brainer. The Lizard? Turns into a giant Lizard. Scorpion? His origin had to do with getting Scorpion traits and such. Kangaroo? Super powered jumper. Vulture? A bird of prey with wings.

Because it would be really silly to name people that dress up as animals after rocks.
Because the animal kingdom fits the character.
You forgot Chameleon, Morbius the Living Vampire, Man Wolf, and Stegron.

Looks like I'll have to move past gameplay footage
To emphasize a parallel with Spider-Man --- as Spider-Man himself derives his powers and motif from an animal and acquired said powers through a freak accident of science, so many of his enemies are also patterned after animals and have as well acquired their powers through freak accidents or misapplication of science. In TV Tropes parlance, this would be called "Thematic Rogues Gallery," and like many Thematic Rogues Galleries, Spider-Man's parallels him in certain respects.
The spider is always on the hunt.
OP Question -
Because so is Spider-Man it fits the theme, 'nough said.
"So you've come to the end now alive but dead inside."
Morbius was ASM 102. If I would rank my Dirty Dozen bad guys few are animals. In no particular order. 1: Green Goblin ( Norm). 2: Carnage. 3: Venom ( Brock). 4: Kingpin. 5: Kraven. 6:Mr. Negative. 7:Hobgoblin ( Kingsley). 8: Ock ( Otto). 9: Lizard. 10: Rhino. 11: Mysterio. 12: Morlun.

A) Because from the start, a spider, as in "Spider-Man", is also named after an animal.
B) It is simply more fun.
