Useful Info
Jumping spiders are small, non-poisonous spiders that attack in a unique way; they can quickly "jump" (blink) into melee range with you, and their bite attacks have a 50% chance to ensnare you as though you'd just walked into a web trap. This can leave you defenseless for several turns while the jumping spider and anything else around tears you to pieces. They can be found in the Spider's Nest and near its entrance in Lair.
