Research
Creature Name: Stun Spider
Observations by: Balanvrast Soar, forum name - Gumble Tinkertumble & Svipdagr, forum name - Scott, (also observed and trained by Brandt Barkley)
Creature Type: Vermin (((code not found since it was trainable but not updated to be a Stun Spider)))
Creature Subtype: Arachnid
CTS trainable: Not yet (submitted, but not yet reviewed).
Introduction
As the name suggests, the Stun Spider stuns its prey and then attacks and consumes it. It has a variety of ways to do this, from it's poisons to its gazes that confuse, stun, and even paralyze and finally it's ominous aura, which has been known to stop adventurers in their tracks. These ambush predators are green with black and yellow markings on legs and a black and orange "face" on abdomen, which may contribute to their confusion abilities.
Feeding Habits
Though they prefer to paralyze their prey and then feed, they will attack if needed. They also feed as a group and share in the spoils of the group's work.
Disposition and Social Habits
Often found in groups, these spiders cling to the walls or roof of the cave and descend on slender wires of silk to trap their prey. Working in groups they use their numbers and multiple attacks on their prey's mind and body until disabled and the brood can feed.
Habitat
Stun Spiders have only been found in the deeper parts of cave systems.
Fylgia
Most compatible: Wolf
- It's a giant spider but it hunts in packs, is very social, and uses a variety of tactics that one does not normally see with solitary spiders.
Other notes
Craftier than one might expect from spiders, their use of group tactics and overwhelming force makes it hard to resist their stunning power. It only takes one mistake or one missed defense against their attack and dinner is served. Although they exhibit these powerful mental gazes and aura attacks and abilities when encountered in the wild, I have not proved to be able to train any of them to be done on command - the Stun spiders do exhibit the usual ferocity and web-spinning attacks one would expect from any giant spider.
