40d:Cave spider

| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Cave spiders are a type of vermin that occurs near chasms and underground rivers. They leave small webs strewn around the area, which are automatically collected by any worker who has the weaving skill activated and access to a loom, which automatically produces the work task "collect webs."
These can bite tame animals and your Dwarves, causing them to be permanently afflicted with being randomly stunned.
Cave spiders should not be confused with Giant cave spiders and phantom spiders.
In the current Dwarf Fortress version (v0.28.181.40d), as in real life, spider silk is apparently fireproof.
