Spiderling

Physical Description

History

Spiderlings would appear very rarely from their dens and when they would, they would quickly return to the dens after catching prey. Very few Spiderlings would leave the dens at a time to hunt and once they catch their prey they are determined to keep it.

Society

Spiderlings usually live in small secluded tribes in the caves that are near mountains or near civilization. Usually when Spiderlings would go hunting the men would be the first selected followed by the women as they either need to bring back something big or not come back at all.
