List of arachnids

Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Crawl's many arachnids are generally fast, with poisonous bites and other peculiar, debilitating tricks. Fortunately, most of them are also fairly fragile and are vulnerable to poison. They can be found throughout the Dungeon, but mostly make their home in the Spider's Nest.

Spider Types

s Spider - Scuttling poisonous pests. Individually weak, but they come in swarms.

s Jumping spider - A hyperactive spider which leaps in and out of combat, covering you in sticky silk all the while.

s Trapdoor spider - Cowardly vermin that strike those who walk past their hiding places and retreat underground when injured.

s Tarantella - Strange bugs with bites that disorient their prey.

s Redback - A notoriously venomous arachnid, capable of seriously poisoning even those who are resistant.

s Wolf spider - A powerful spider capable of tearing foes apart even without its venom.

s Orb spider - Unnatural spiders that launch orbs of devastating energy at their foes.
