Albino Cave Spider

This tiny hunting spider is about the size of a man's fist. It is pallid white, often with irregular light brown blotches on its abdomen, which helps it blend in with the toadstools and fungus which is its home. The albino cave spider normally feeds on normal and dire rats, but it attacks anything that comes within range.

Albino cave spiders hunt rats in caves or in deep underground regions where the sun never reaches. These tiny killers are extremely sensitive to movement, and despite their unique coloring, are highly adept at hiding and stealthy stalking.

The albino cave spider is mildly toxic, as some of the other Under Realm predators have discovered. They use their poisonous bite to sicken prey and follow until they can feast on the remains.

Male and female cave spiders are roughly the same size, with females being slightly larger. The females are the predominant hunters, with the males tending to the web-nest when an eggsack is present. Both sexes are extremely protective of the eggsack, and attack larger foes when it is threatened.
