==Useful Info==
'''Orb spiders''' are obnoxious and dangerous [[list of arachnids|arachnids]] that tend to avoid direct combat with you, lingering at the edge of your [[line of sight]] and hurling [[Orbs of Destruction]] at you whenever you stop pursuing them. The fact that they tend to appear in areas filled with [[web]] [[trap]]s only makes them more of a threat. They can be found in the [[Spider's Nest]], particularly on the lower floors.

==Tips & Tricks==
*Orb spiders can deal a good amount of damage, but they are quite fragile. Use ranged attacks to kill them fast.
*With decent footwork, you can dodge their [[Orb of Destruction|Orbs of Destruction]]. Once you've managed that, the orb will take several turns to circle back around for another pass, which may take it into another spider, a wall, or even the orb spider that cast it.

==History==
Orb spiders were introduced in [[0.11]].
