These giant arachnids are aggressive and terrifying versions of their much smaller cousins, and are capable of everything the smaller spider is. Giant spiders possess both strength and speed, delivering a lethal bite with its sharp mandibles that deliver a poison that can render even the strongest man immobile within seconds. Encountering one of these alien-looking creatures in a dank tomb or dark cavern is bad enough, but to be ambushed by a giant spider within its lair is far worse. Its huge webs are nearly as strong as iron and able to hold fast even man-sized prey for the spider to deal with at its leisure, and many spiders may even use their spinners to cast webbing at their opponents, immobilizing them where they stand. Many an adventurer has entered the lair of a giant spider, unaware...and never returned.
