The giant spider, s, is a monster in NetHack. They are faster than you and have a rather damaging poisonous bite; however they are too large to be able to hide as some of their kin are capable of. Their corpses are poisonous.

If you are polymorphed into a Giant spider you can spin Webs using the #monster command

a giant spider is generated every time a spider web trap is randomly generated.

Encyclopedia entry

Eight legged creature capable of spinning webs to trap prey.
"You mean you eat flies?" gasped Wilbur.
"Certainly.  Flies, bugs, grasshoppers, choice beetles,
moths, butterflies, tasty cockroaches, gnats, midges, daddy
longlegs, centipedes, mosquitoes, crickets - anything that is
careless enough to get caught in my web.  I have to live,
don't I?"
"Why, yes, of course," said Wilbur.
