Frenzied Skitterer
“They can spin a web the size of a man in under a minute… Want a demonstration?” - Elise Kythera-Zaavan
These weaver spiders faithfully serve their queen, wrapping victims in their web to prepare them for sacrifice. Despite their “ceremonial” role, they live up to the name “Predator,” being fully capable of hunting and taking down their own prey when necessary.
