Creature Name: Phase Spider / Giant Phase Spider

Observations by: Balanvrast Soar, forum name - Gumble Tinkertumble

Creature Type: Magical Beast

Creature Subtype: Arachnid

CTS trainable: Not yet (under Team review).


Introduction

The Phase Spider can be found in most places around the world. Wherever you would expect to see spiders, you can bet there are some Phase Spiders lurking around the corner too. When Phase Spiders age they can grow quite large and are often referred to as Giant Phase Spiders. With age also come some startling abilities, although all Phase Spiders are able to 'phase' in and out of existence. This grants them some protections as well as making them extremely difficult to predict, as they use their ability to appear behind unsuspecting victims.

Feeding Habits

None listed.

Disposition and Social Habits

While it is virtually impossible to use one's skills to empathize with spiders in general (their minds are truelly alien), the Phase Spider appears to 'think' differently to most. Perhaps it is their unusual abilities which necessitate this different thought pattern. Whatever the case, if you are careful you may be able to befriend one temporarily, thus allowing you to observe the proper rituals in a more peaceful location. However, you may need to fight your way past the Phase Spider's companions first!

Habitat

Anywhere you can find giant spiders is a likely candidate for these creatures to live and breed. Deep forests, old ruins, underground lairs (caves, sewers and such like).

Fylgia

Most compatible: Giant Spider

  • It's a giant spider!

Other notes

While training these magical creatures, I have so far only observed them displaying the most rudimentary skills and have so far been unable to make them 'phase.' I am confident that the right methods will present themselves eventually and may need unlocking other mysteries these creatures hold.
