Phantom spiders are vermin that occur in evil forest biomes. They are closely related to cave spiders; they produce webs that can be collected and woven into thread at a loom, and bite creatures to inject a venom. They are a particular danger to dwarves because their venom paralyzes, and since they are vermin they are very difficult to see. However, their venom wears off after some time.[Verify] Their extracts are phantom spider venom and antivenin, both worth 20 monies. The antivenin cannot actually be used to treat poisoned dwarves.v0.27.169.33c [Verify]
