A '''large spider''', {{magenta|s}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. The large spider is a [[small]] [[carnivorous]] [[arachnid]] that is capable of spinning [[web]]s, and [[Drow (starting race)|drow]] heroes are capable of [[taming]] them with thrown [[food]].

A large spider has a bite attack and a touch attack that spreads [[webbing]], and possesses [[poison resistance]].

[[Eating]] a large spider corpse or [[tin]] grants {{frac|20}} (5%) of [[Partial intrinsic|additional poison resistance]].

==Generation==
Randomly generated large spiders are always created hostile. [[Cave spider]]s [[grow up]] into large spiders, which can grow up into [[giant spider]]s.

Drow heroes that are not [[Convict]]s start the game with a [[tame]] large spider.

Webs created at level generation may have a large spider placed atop them.

Large spiders appear among the random {{white|s}} that are part of the first [[quest]] monster class for [[Tourist]]s and make up {{frac|24|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Tourist quest]]. They also appear among the random {{white|s}} that are part of the second quest monster class for [[Ranger]]s and make up {{frac|6|175}} of the monsters randomly generated on the [[Ranger quest]].

Large spiders generated at level creation are given a random item to hide under, despite being incapable of hiding.

-Large spiders are quick-moving at 15 [[speed]] and can prove persistent with their bites, but thankfully are not poisonous like giant spiders&mdash;in fact, large spiders provide a useful source of intrinsic poison resistance for a hero building up enough resistance to avoid [[instant death]] by poison later in the dungeon.
