An ordinary orb-weaving spider with a distinctive white cross on its back. While not as grotesquely huge as other arachnids to be found in this environment, it is still as big as a small cat.

Useful Info

Spiders are weak poisonous enemies, very fast but generally not too dangerous. They are easily the least threatening of all the spider types. However, they can be encountered in packs, and may spawn completely surrounding you if you step on a pressure plate. Outside of traps, they are found in the Spider's Nest.

Tips & Tricks

• Make sure you have poison resistance during a fight with these. Even if they're weak, eight poisonous bites a turn can quickly kill you.
