- A large underground monster with eight legs and sharp, venomous teeth.
Giant Cave Spiders are far different from your regular cave spider; Those were just treats for your cat. Giant cave spiders are 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 so they can't be stunned, they 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 benefit and hazard, hazard being obvious and benefit due to their webs. Giant cave spider silk is worth much more than ordinary cloth, and 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 paralysis and is ultimately fatal due to suffocation as the victim's diaphragm succumbs and ceases to function. Poison effects set in relatively quickly with complete paralysis at phase 5(360 seconds) and death usually occurs at around 1300 seconds.
