Memory:Antharaxa

This is a giant version of the well known arachnid. On its eight legs it can stand as tall as the average human man. It's mandibles drip with a poisonous fluid, which it tries to inject into its victims. In your youth, you sometimes caught a spider underneath a glass, then examined and studied those strange arthropods. To catch this breed of spider, you'd need a moderately sized hut, or preferably a harpoon. The legs alone are longer than you, and thicker than your thigh. The abdomen is bloated and covered in black and red hair, the mandibles drip a black liquid. It hunts creatures smaller than itself, and unfortunately it's a fair bit larger than you.
