A jumping spider, s, is a type of monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. It is a type of spider that has the ability to jump at you and other monsters, spin webs, and hide themselves under objects like most other arachnids and centipedes can. Drow can tame jumping spiders as domestic animals.
A jumping spider has a poisonous bite attack, and possesses poison resistance.
A jumping spider corpse is poisonous to eat, but eating a jumping spider corpse or tin conveys 1⁄20 poison resistance.

"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.
