Useful Info
Jumping spiders are small, 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 also have a moderately powerful poison attack. They can be found in the Spider's Nest and near its entrance in Lair.
Some monsters will summon them via the Summon Vermin spell.
