Scout 'Sergeant' Spider



Beast Name: Scout/Sergeant Spider

Approximate Size: 1.5'x1.5'x1.5'

Known Locations: Devla Mines; roaming/scouting

Strengths & Weaknesses (if applicable): These creatures are at least as strong as their common cousins, and smarter as well. They travel in smaller packs, or occasionally by themselves.

Weapons & Defenses (if applicable): Like the Common Spider, fangs are their main weapon. Scouts are venomous, but they rarely bite to kill. Their venom is a mild paralytic, easy to recover from, however, they do not usually stray too far from a larger pack of Common Spiders, and they will alert the main group to the location of their victim. They do have an exoskeleton that appears relatively thick, but it is no match for the well prepared warrior (i.e. axes, swords, arrows pierce easily).

Observations (in biology or behavior):

These yellow 'sergeant spiders', accustomed to dining on defenceless miners, had been quite confused when their prey began fighting back; and now that the tide of battle had begun to turn against them they were making an instinctual withdrawal. -Kell Gorgax

I was out gardening, and didn't even see the Sergeant until her was on me. He bit my shin and left me laying there for dead, right in the middle of the lettuce patch. I could see, feel, and hear everything happening around me, but I couldn't move or make a sound. Just as the Scout came back with a brood of Commons, my neighbors came looking for me. Lucky, that. I would have been dead in five minutes. -Jeren Sims
