Information

Description

A heavy cave spider with venomous fangs, strong climbing limbs, and a body large enough to carry a trained rider.

Habitat and Ecology

Giant spiders hunt throughout the southeast webs. The Web Brood uses them as guards, hauling animals, and mounts; silk bridges and anchor lines form routes that other creatures cannot safely use.

Behaviour

Hold connected web routes and retreat along secure anchors; trained individuals use the separate mount role.

Equipment

None inherent. Clothing, tools, armor, weapons, harness, and recoverable items come from the deployed role or location record.

Harvesting

No standard harvesting entry is assigned by this base card.

Other Information

Assistant-authored draft: This card supplies the missing canonical base creature or embodiment requested for the Delve. Training and harness use come from the Giant Spider Mount role.
