These eight-legged beasts are not your ordinary harmless Template:L (those were just treats for your Template:L). Giant cave spiders are bigger than Template:Ls and will make treats of cats, other Template:L Template:Ls and the average careless adventurer.
Unlike most monsters in the world, giant spiders rely on more than just brute force. Using sticky web projectiles, paralyzing Template:L and powerful jaws, the giant cave spider has multiple methods of incapacitating its prey before going in for the kill. They do not feel pain or fear and cannot be stopped unless killed. For this reason, it's suggested that you engage them at a distance, bring plenty of Template:Ls to distract it in adventure mode or simply try to overwhelm it with a high number of attackers. Cases of non-legendary adventurers fighting giant cave spiders at close combat and winning the fight without sustaining major injuries have been reported, but it seems to be very rare.
When a dwarf comes into contact with a giant cave spider web, he becomes stuck and unable to move (effectively paralyzed) for a given amount of time, after the duration of which he becomes unstuck and is free to move again.
If you manage to collect a giant cave spider's webbing and use it to produce Template:L, the resulting thread is worth ten times the value of Template:L silk, making it far more valuable than any other in the game.
