[Monsters 2021] 026/365 - Giant Arctic Spider
🕑 Added 2021-02-05 16:01:01 +0000 UTCHorrors of the great northern tundras, giant arctic spiders are massive ten-legged beasts that lurk in the crevices of glaciers, frosty tunnels, and even on the cold-blasted plains themselves. These creatures are much more aggressive than the smaller, warm climate counterparts. Although they use many of the same catch-and-kill tactics seen throughout the rest of the arachnid kingdom, they will also chase their prey to exhaustion for miles.
A single arctic spider's clutch contains up to 300 eggs. The eggs hatch within 2-3 weeks. Most young arctic spiders fail to live past their first year. Those that do, however, grow quickly, eventually turning into these huge, multi-eyed predators.
Arctic spider caverns are littered with the bodies of explorers and adventurers. Since most native arctic-dwellers know better than to enter one of these creature's infested dens, the goods and treasures carried by the dead leave a path of "fool's treasure" for the ill-prepared. Clever arctic spiders have learned that careful arrangement of such treasure trails leads to bigger and better meals.
