====Arachnida (arachnids)==== | ====Arachnida (arachnids)==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Spiders''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Funnel-Web Spider: Represents the Sydney Funnel Web. Very poisonous, and rather aggressive. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mouse Spider: Similar level of toxicity to the Funnel Web, but shyer and less aggressive | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rose Tarantula: Popular pet species. Usually called the Chilean Rose Hair. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Cobalt Tarantula: Less popular species, due to aggression. Lovely colour though. Maybe Kobolds could ride giant versions ;) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Goliath Spider: Or Goliath Bird Eating Spider. I erred on the side of brevity. Largest spider (in our world...) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Red-kneed Tarantula: A pretty classic tarantula with an attractive colour scheme. | ||
+ | |||
+ | King Baboon Tarantula: Included because of funny name. I am not proud. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pinktoe Tarantula: Again, a popular pet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Earth Tiger Spider: Aggressive and apparantly rather poisonous, although unlikely to be serious, let alone fatal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Atypical Tarantula: Not like all those other tarantulas, no siree. Alternatively known as the Purse Web Spider. Demonstrates interesting hunting behaviour, and its webs were used by locals as bandages. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ravine Trapdoor Spider: An unusual type of trapdoor spider with a flattened, armoured rear end which it defends itself with, if predators attempt to gain access. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Brown Trapdoor Spider: A more standard breed of trapdoor spider | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mountain Jumping Spider: The Himalayan Jumping Spider lives at the highest altitude of any creature (except presumebly its prey). Though very rare, might add a touch of variety to dull mountains. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ant Mimicking Spider: A spider camoflaged as a driver ant that preys on that which it mimicks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Zebra Jumping Spider: A small, but feisty spider found in temperate zones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Peacock Jumping Spider: Colourful tropical species with a bizarre courtship dance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Long-fanged Jumping Spider: Recently discovered tropical species. Has not been described yet, nor does it really have a common name, so I gave it one. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Green Jumping Spider: Tropical. A personal favourite. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Portia Spider: A spider with a staggering array of tricks for getting prey. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Brown Recluse Spider: Infamous for its necrotic venom, which must be far more problematic without modern medical care. Often mistaken for other species, but can be identified by the number of eyes - six | ||
+ | |||
+ | Six Eyed Sand Spider: Related to the above, rumoured to be even more dangerous, although its desert habitat means it is less likely to come into contact with humans. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Spitting Spider: One of the fastest attackers in the animal kingdom. Sprays prey with sticky venom from afar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ladybird Spider: An attractive species that's sadly endangered in Britain, although common as muck in Europe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Assassin Spider: Also known as the Pelican Spider. Tiny, buy staggeringly bizarre appearance. Tropical. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ogre-faced Spider: A generic representative of Deinopis. Found in forests, worldwide. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Smiley Faced Spider: An Orb Weaver with interesting back patterns. Presumebly the opposite of above. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Garden Spider: Based on the European Garden Spider. Essentially a stand-in for any common orb-weavers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Star Bellied Orb Weaver: Interesting back plates. From Florida. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Money Spider: Tiny, but incredibly numerous. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Golden Orb-Web Spider: Not technically an orb weaver, but a large distinctive species none the less. Based on Nephila clavipes | ||
+ | |||
+ | Black Widow Spider: There are a bunch of Widow Spiders so I picked the two most famous, which are, not coincidentally likely | ||
+ | the most dangerous. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Redback Spider: Similar to American widow spiders. Considered medically significant, although deaths are rare, even without antivenom | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wandering Spider: Almost certainly the most dangerous spider. Aggressive, fearless and very poisonous. "Laboratory mice subjected to P. nigriventer venom experienced intense penile erections before succumbing to the toxin" - wikipedia | ||
+ | |||
+ | Wolf Spider: | ||
+ | |||
+ | No-Eyed Big-Eyed Wolf Spider | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lynx Spider | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fishing Spider: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Huntsmen Spider: Large, fast moving and occaisionally aggressive tropical species, that presents no real danger, besides car crashes when they drop into people's laps, while driving. | ||
+ | |||
+ | White Lady Spider: Unusual desert relative of the Huntsmen spider which cartwheels down sand dunes to escape predatory wasps | ||
+ | |||
+ | House Spider: Tenegaria Domestica. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Water Spider: | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Other Arachnids''' | ||

Tailess whip scorpion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblypygi (Not to be confused with below. Not venomous/dangerous to anything larger than itself. Can be found in tropical caves.

tails)

Goliath Spider: Or Goliath Bird Eating Spider. I erred on the side of brevity. Largest spider (in our world...)
Red-kneed Tarantula: A pretty classic tarantula with an attractive colour scheme.
King Baboon Tarantula: Included because of funny name. I am not proud.
Pinktoe Tarantula: Again, a popular pet.
Earth Tiger Spider: Aggressive and apparantly rather poisonous, although unlikely to be serious, let alone fatal.
Atypical Tarantula: Not like all those other tarantulas, no siree. Alternatively known as the Purse Web Spider. Demonstrates interesting hunting behaviour, and its webs were used by locals as bandages.
Ravine Trapdoor Spider: An unusual type of trapdoor spider with a flattened, armoured rear end which it defends itself with, if predators attempt to gain access.
Brown Trapdoor Spider: A more standard breed of trapdoor spider
Mountain Jumping Spider: The Himalayan Jumping Spider lives at the highest altitude of any creature (except presumebly its prey). Though very rare, might add a touch of variety to dull mountains.
Ant Mimicking Spider: A spider camoflaged as a driver ant that preys on that which it mimicks.
Zebra Jumping Spider: A small, but feisty spider found in temperate zones.
Peacock Jumping Spider: Colourful tropical species with a bizarre courtship dance.
Long-fanged Jumping Spider: Recently discovered tropical species. Has not been described yet, nor does it really have a common name, so I gave it one.
Green Jumping Spider: Tropical. A personal favourite.
Portia Spider: A spider with a staggering array of tricks for getting prey.
Brown Recluse Spider: Infamous for its necrotic venom, which must be far more problematic without modern medical care. Often mistaken for other species, but can be identified by the number of eyes - six
Six Eyed Sand Spider: Related to the above, rumoured to be even more dangerous, although its desert habitat means it is less likely to come into contact with humans.
Spitting Spider: One of the fastest attackers in the animal kingdom. Sprays prey with sticky venom from afar.
Ladybird Spider: An attractive species that's sadly endangered in Britain, although common as muck in Europe.
Assassin Spider: Also known as the Pelican Spider. Tiny, buy staggeringly bizarre appearance. Tropical.
Ogre-faced Spider: A generic representative of Deinopis. Found in forests, worldwide.
Smiley Faced Spider: An Orb Weaver with interesting back patterns. Presumebly the opposite of above.
Garden Spider: Based on the European Garden Spider. Essentially a stand-in for any common orb-weavers.
Star Bellied Orb Weaver: Interesting back plates. From Florida.
Money Spider: Tiny, but incredibly numerous.
Golden Orb-Web Spider: Not technically an orb weaver, but a large distinctive species none the less. Based on Nephila clavipes
Black Widow Spider: There are a bunch of Widow Spiders so I picked the two most famous, which are, not coincidentally likely the most dangerous.
Redback Spider: Similar to American widow spiders. Considered medically significant, although deaths are rare, even without antivenom
Wandering Spider: Almost certainly the most dangerous spider. Aggressive, fearless and very poisonous. "Laboratory mice subjected to P. nigriventer venom experienced intense penile erections before succumbing to the toxin" - wikipedia
Wolf Spider:
No-Eyed Big-Eyed Wolf Spider
Lynx Spider
Fishing Spider:
Huntsmen Spider: Large, fast moving and occaisionally aggressive tropical species, that presents no real danger, besides car crashes when they drop into people's laps, while driving.
White Lady Spider: Unusual desert relative of the Huntsmen spider which cartwheels down sand dunes to escape predatory wasps
House Spider: Tenegaria Domestica.
Water Spider:
