You voted, you donated, and now it begins. Thanks to the incredible support shown during our Extra Life charity event, the first Extra Life TLC creature is almost ready to descend from its shadowy lair.
The Araneo is evolving into something far more dangerous. No longer content to skitter at ground level, these overgrown spiders have begun claiming the high ground, using web-lines to traverse elevated terrain and drop down on unsuspecting prey with unnerving precision.
We can’t wait to share more on what’s in store—but for now, just know that your impact is crawling its way into the ARK.
Species: Araneomorphus amalgotantibus Time: Seemingly Recent Diet: Carnivore Temperament: Opportunistic, Aggressive
Lately I’ve noticed a kind of breakthrough evolution in the local population of Araneomorphus. Broodmother's ‘children’ have suddenly exploded in number, and they've also begun using their amazing amalgam of arachnidial abilities in alarming new ways.
These overgrown spiders have begun traversing high areas with their web-lines, and rappelling down them to ambush prey. They also shoot their webbing with a newly ruthless precision--a disorienting innovation that restricts their prey's ability to move, attack, and protect itself. Struck enough times, an entangled victim is as good as helpless.
Though the Araneo was once considered too small to be a serviceable mount, newer compact saddle designs have turned around opinion. Its narcotic venom turns out to be useful for tranquilizing potential tames. One popular tactic is to drop from above and wrap up a target creature in webbing before subduing them with a venomous bite.
Even if a taming attempt fails, your spider-mount can harvest the hardened silk from a downed target for a variety of uses. Araneo silk is an excellent insulator in warm-weather clothing, for example.
