40d:Cave spider
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
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.
As of the current Dwarf Fortress version (v0.28.181.40d) cave spider silk is apparently fireproof.
