Useful Info
Jorogumos are monsters that take spider-like forms. If you aren't fully immune to poison, their melee attacks can slow and paralyse for 1-3 turns (similar to hornets). At range, they can trap you in webs and shoot bolts of negative energy. They are found in the Spider's Nest.

Tips & Tricks
- Incredibly high threat enemy. If you aren't immune to poison (and aren't a Formicid), getting hit in melee should be treated like instant death. Just one hit can paralyse you for 3 turns, which is enough for a crowd of spiders to kill you from 100% health. A jorogumo by itself can deal up to 240 negative energy damage in 3 turns, enough to kill most characters without rN+.
- That's not to mention its spells - Ensnare halves EV and prevents movement, melee, and ranged weapons. Bolt of Draining is high damage.
- Their willpower is moderately high, though Hexes or Evocations specialists can hex them somewhat reliably.
Trivia
