Giant spiders are a type of oversized arachnids. They actually come in several sizes from just big, to very large.

Background[]

There are races of sentient giant spiders living near the Glass Mountains, in a thorny forest. They are pony-sized. Yellow fangs hung down from their mouths and their bodies were covered in coarse black fur. They have eight great black hairy legs. A multitude of eyes sits on their heads. With their dozens of eyes, they watch. Their fangs click against their lower jaws.[1]They eat juicy humanoids such as imps or humans.

Smaller species but still large are known as big spiders. One known species is the giant spider of Llewdor.

Gwydion encountered a giant spider outside of the Oracle Cave in Llewdor. Using a spell, Gwydion transformed himself into an eagle, grabbed the spider, flew it out to sea and dropped it in the ocean.
