Harvester Spider

Tier 2 Minion

Harvester spiders are a communal creature, finding safety in overwhelming numbers. They are called harvesters because they harvest materials from their environment to make their nests out of as opposed to spinning webs.

Motives & Tactics: Harvesters are ambush predators. They hide in their camouflaged homes and lay in wait for their prey. Then, when a potential prey animal is close enough, they launch out of their nests, grapple their prey, and inject a paralyzing venom into them, allowing the harvester to eat in peace.
