Creature Subtype: Arachnid
CTS trainable: Not yet (researching).
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
Using the powers granted to me, I have been able to summon a Bullet Spider to my side. While I have been unable to find a complete nest, I suspect they are similar in their social habits to other spiders I have encountered. In particular, I note that most giant spiders (unlike their mundane cousins) seek to gain the advantage of numbers. They really are quite cunning and will swarm if given the chance. I dread to think what a group of swarming Bullet Spiders would be like. The bullets really would start flying!
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
I am excited by the possibilities that these marvels could accomplish with a little training. It may even be possible to manipulate their acid spitting skills to take on new forms. Ghastly as it seems, it would be a great defence mechanism if they could be taught to 'spew' acid in a cone.
