Editing Shield Spiders (section)

=== Powers/Abilities ===
Shield Spiders are notorious for tracking and killing their prey across thousands of leagues, making it almost pointless to run from them. What is worse, single mature Shield Spiders are hunting outside of their nest. They prefer to herd fleeing prey straight into the pits. If the net collapses, the inhabitating spiders are swarming all over it, both to protect the eggs and to find the prey.<ref name="1.29">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/12/04/1-29/ Chapter 1.29]</ref>

They are considered to be a Silver-rank threat, while a nest of them might even lead to the notification of a Gold-rank team. Their carapace is extremely tough and can resist acid and steel blades, while their bite is so poisonous that not even a Healing Potion could cure it.<ref name="1.29"/>

[[Rags]]' tribe could clear out smaller Shield Spider pits with few casualties even before she migrated out of the area of Liscor, provided that there were at least two Hobgoblins and enough Goblins present.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/21/2-02-g/ Chapter 2.02 G]</ref>
