These eight-legged beasts are not your ordinary harmless cave spider (those were just treats for your cat). Giant cave spiders are bigger than horses and will make treats of cats, their dwarf pets and the average careless adventurer. It is rather easy to know when a giant spider roams in the area, for they usually always build a huge spider web, sometime spawning several screens wide (pictures to the right).
Unlike most monsters in the world, giant spiders rely on more than just brute force. Using sticky web projectiles, paralyzing venom 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 remorse or fear and cannot be stopped unless killed. For this reason, it's suggested that you engage them at a distance, bring plenty of drunks to distract it in adventure moode or simply try to overwhelm it with a high number of attackers.
Most giant spiders build their web over clifts of some sort so caution should be taken against dwarves or the spider itself falling down to their death or into a big chasm.
