Golden-Webbed Spider
A ferocious and territorial species of gilded arthropod that inhabits the &amp;quot;Eden's Labyrinth&amp;quot; region in the Ancient Forest, either jumping from tree to tree or gliding with the thin membrane between their legs. Golden-Webbed Spiders are quite brave, as they'll venture deep into Billed-Tuxedo Hornet territory, just to feed on their larva, eggs and chrysalises, and they are not afraid to fight off a attack, violently lunging and trying to sting and/or bite them. They can usually found in their ground-level burrows during the night, den being covered in the hollowed husks of prey and coated with a series of golden silk, and they'll barricade their dens to prevent any predators from making the sleeping spider their next meal... During the day when not actively hunting they can be found simply hugging onto a tree near a myriad of their webs, awaiting for foolish prey to wander into the webs, and when hugging onto a tree they'll sprawl their primary set of legs out, a way to threaten predators, also using a pair of secondary legs to stay secured. They are well-known for their beautiful and steel-hard, golden carapace, which can repel most bites and stings, and rather than shed like most other insects and arthropods, their carapace is held together with a smooth and rubbery skin that can stretch, making it possible for the spider to grow throughout their entire lifespan. When left undisturbed for at least a year, their web maze can begin to span a area of around 250 meters, with some regions of the maze being completely unchecked by the spider. Their silk is prized for it's strength and glimmer, making beautiful ropes, nets and a myriad of other items, but it is incredibly difficult to harvest as Golden-Webbed Spiders in captivity will not produced high-quality webs, so those who harvest the web must trek into the Ancient Forest to harvest it by hand, which is quite dangerous as the large spiders are usually close by to their webs, and the poison is fatal to humans.
