This article is about an older version of DF.

A cave spider is a type of Template:L. It produces Template:Ls that can be collected and Template:L into Template:L. Cave spiders can be annoying and beneficial at the same time. They will usually hang out around underground areas like Template:L or underground water sources. They will leave Template:Ls around these areas or even in your fortress that can be collected via the 'collect webs' job at the Template:L, which is created automatically when webs are around. They can be annoying because they will bite the occasional pet or dwarf, though they're only mildly Template:L.

Pest Control

If you have Template:Ls around your fortress, they will hunt cave spiders down without mercy just like any other vermin, and this can be a bit annoying if you want those webs. You can attempt to solve this problem by confining all unattached cats using Template:Ls or Template:Ls and eliminating cats that have Template:L a dwarf, but this approach can cause Template:L issues, and migrants will continue to introduce pet cats to your fortress.

Use in Industry

Unfortunately, Template:L a cave spider does not provide a source of controlled Template:L production, as cave spiders in cages will not spin webs. Because of this, a Template:L farm requires an area (potentially cleared and sealed, for dwarven Template:L) in which the vermin can run wild. Since cave spiders do not reproduce like creatures, any such farm will need to be in a Template:L that generates cave spiders.
