Four miniscule spinarets lie just beneath the rear. Growing up to five or six [[Measurements|thum]]s in length, its legspan can exceed a [[Measurements|rand]] when fully extended.

It must be said that this is a highly deadly venomous arachnid. It has been reported to bite more than once, although once is enough to paralyze many humanoids, but it will often bite until its venom is depleted. Its venom creates excruciating necrotic wounds which spread throughout the body within less than two tolls, leaving the victim partially dissolved, for lack of a better word.
