Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Although spiders are generally considered the most dangerous of Crawl's arthropods, there are a number of deadly insects found in the Dungeon as well. Their abilities vary greatly by order, but the majority of them share a weakness to poison. They can be found everywhere except the extended end-game.
All insects leave zombifiable corpses, but none leave skeletons, meaning that players cannot gain both an undead servant and food by using Animate Skeleton.
