A large underground monster with eight legs and sharp, venomous teeth.

Giant cave spiders are far different from your regular Template:Ls; those are just treats for your cat. Giant cave spiders are as big as a horse and will make treats of cats, dwarves and the occasional careless adventurer. You can find giant cave spiders in, obviously, caves, caverns and most underground areas. They are extremely dangerous as they feel no pain and thus cannot be stunned, can poison creatures and have the ability to shoot webbing to ensnare their prey.

Giant cave spiders are fortunately (depending on your point of view) not a rarity anymore and there are dozens present in the underground caverns, deep below the surface. They can be extremely hard to kill, so watch out.

They are both a boon and a bane, the boon being their webs (whenever they aren't a part of the bane.) Giant cave spider silk is worth much more than ordinary cloth and given the proper setup and victims, they can produce endless amounts of it.

If you see one in adventure mode, an announcement, "You've spotted a Giant Cave Spider!" will appear.

Giant cave spider venom appears to be a neurotoxin which causes progressive Template:L and is ultimately fatal due to suffocation as the victim's diaphragm succumbs and ceases to function. The poison's effects set in relatively quickly with complete paralysis at phase 5(360 seconds) and death usually occurs at around 1300 seconds.

Farming

A Captured GCS can prove quite valuable in a fortress. Listed below are the steps to running a successful farm.

1. Dig a nice pit, and dig a wall of fortifications to the side. Dig a room or another pit on the other side of the previously mentioned wall.

2. Capture a GCS in a cage trap. I'll leave this one up to you.

2.5 If you can, tame it so it won't go on a rampage when you try to move it.

3. Dump the GCS into that pit you built back at step 1.

4. Get a goblin (or useless dwarf) to go into the room or pit on the other side of the fortification.

5. The GCS will happily spit webs for you to collect.

6. Stroke your dwarvenly beard.
