Wargrove of Woe Melee Infantry

Giant Spiders

There are many sub-types of Giant Spider, such as Tilean Greybacks, Drakwald Mancatchers, and the Scarlet Deathheads of the Great Forest, to name just a few. All are poisonous and have steely, pincer-like mandibles that can punch through platemail to deliver a toxic bite and administer a venom that can paralyse prey if not kill outright. While often not as fast as wolves or horses out in the open, these spiders can move at speed through the most dense patches of woods. In the forest they can grow to an enormous size, large enough to completely suck the life juices from their victims to leave behind only skin-husks and bones.
