Tarantula

Tarantulas, also known as reikh'irud in Anauroch, were a mundane species of spider.

Description
These spiders were covered in dark brown hair.

Behavior
Tarantulas were generally not aggressive unless disturbed or accidentally agitated.

Habitats
Tarantulas could be found in the lands of Anauroch and Maztica. In the Raurin desert, both giant and huge varieties of tarantula could be found.

Usages
The hishnashapers of Maztica used the dried-up bodies of tarantulas to create a type of construct known as a spiderwalker.

Skilled alchemists often utilized tarantulas in the formation of poisons that caused paralyzation in a victim.
