Is cave spider a vermin or what? Haven't seen any, although the webs are reappearing every so often.--Dorten 00:22, 17 January 2008 (EST)

Yes. I believe the small ones are regular vermin. The Giant ones on the other hand... Jikor 04:38, 17 January 2008 (EST)
The seem to be especially invisible vermin. If you want to see one you just need to look longer. They also seem to like covering their caves with miasma from rotting olms... --Someone-else 08:08, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Spider bites

My cats keep being bit by cave spiders and walking around stunned. What does this mean for me? Are my dwarf's pets going to die and drive them to the brink of insanity? --Wafl 13:24, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

A cave spider bite causes the victim to randomly get inflicted with the status condition "stun" for the rest of the victim's life. This is not fatal, and in the case of a pet, not really important. --Bouchart 13:36, 14 April 2008 (EDT)
I had one of my Dwarves bitten by one. He randomly gets stunned, for the past year... It's annoying, but they continue doing what they were last. Aaron5367 16:19, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

Not just cats

Had several different tame animals bitten, no sign of stun so far. - Sheltem


Cold weather

Are they present in cold climates? can anyone confirm? -- Vaevictus 23:44, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

From what I can tell, they are present underground, anywhere there is a chasm of some sort. They teleport like other vermin. Aaron5367 16:22, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

Silk Farming

I would love to see some of the ideas from various posts in the forums to consistently and successfully farm silk from a captured cave spider (of any kind.) Schm0 21:33, 1 January 2009 (EST)
