v0.31:Giant cave spider
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
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 rather unique ability to shoot webbing to ensnare their prey.
Giant cave spiders are thankfully a rarity most of the time, but you should expect to find them anywhere you see giant cave spider silk webs lying around, or when there is caves or caverns. 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.
