description
An abundance of food, the sudden hatching of a clutch of eggs, or magical influence can cause smaller spiders to gather in terrifying, deadly masses.
Few everyday vermin inspire as much dread as the infamous spider.
Associated Monsters
Though they are vermin incapable of forming true alliances, spiders show up alongside many types of creatures, including web lurkers (page 325). Spellcasters sometimes call upon spiders using summon animal, and spider swarms have a way of popping up just about anywhere at the most inopportune times.
Other Giant Spiders
A staggering number of species of giant spider exist in the world. Some, like the dream spider, whose venom creates strange hallucinations, are relatively small. Others, like the lumbering ogre spider, are larger than horses.
