Blood Spiders High
Blood Spiders do not announce themselves. By the time you have counted them, they are already on your squad.
Fast pack hunters of the swamp — dangerous in numbers, and a hard lesson for unprepared travellers.
Danger Level
Blood Spiders are a serious threat in the Swamp, especially to small or weak squads. Their danger scales sharply with pack size.
Behaviour & Speed
They hunt in fast-moving packs through the swamp's poor visibility, swarming prey before it can react or retreat.
Loot
Blood Spiders yield meat and materials, but most travellers fight them out of necessity rather than profit.
Weaknesses & Counters
Fight Blood Spiders in formation at a chokepoint so the pack cannot surround you, and bring numbers — a lone traveller in the swamp is exactly their prey.
