The Eerie Spider
XBLxSNAZZLEZ
The Spider, a creature with 8 legs and piercing red eyes that glow in the dark. Because of the spider's size, it cannot fit through regular doorways, but can fit in passages with opposite integers to the door; for example, let's say a door is 1x2, 1 wide by 2 tall, the spider could fit in a space that is 2 wide, and 1 tall. A spider's hissing noise can alert you to it's presence, therefore you should know when one is coming your way. However, spiders can climb any surface, no matter how steep, making them extremely capable of surprise attacks from above. Spiders are easy to hit with arrows and swords, because of their size, but because of their nature, they jump around when attacking, increasing the difficulty of defeating them. Fighting a spider in a mountainous region almost guarantees your defeat, because it will jump after you, and because of it's climbing abilities, will catch up with you very quickly. :: Some spiders are said to let Skeletons ride on their backs, and this combination has been named: Spider Jockey. The Spider Jockey can move quickly, while shooting arrows at the same time, not to mention the ability to climb wherever it pleases. The Spider Jockey is very hard to kill. The spider's bite is not poisonous, but it's cousin, the Cave Spider's, is. :: The Cave spider, a very hostile version of the spider, is more dangerous for several reasons. The cave spider is much smaller than the regular spider, but retains the same speed and maneuverability as the regular spider, making it harder to hit. Cave Spiders also possess a venomous bite, that quickly invades the victims body and seeks to ravage it from the inside out, sickening the victim, and causes death if not treated. This bite can be cured by ingesting plain cow's milk. Also, armor does not effect the bite of a Cave Spider. Even if you had armor on, seek a healer's help immediately. :: -Salamandra
