The silent spiders have been corrupted by the ancient matter spread by the magical energy in the air causing them to live in caves allowing their skin to camouflage with the environment around them and allowing for more potent poison that smells of finely cooked meat. These spiders are often brown with only four legs to hold their round bodies. Their head has six eyes and two small, sharp pincers acting as their mouth. It lures small prey into its web by spraying its poison on the ground when they're close enough it jumps at its prey quickly and efficiently wrapping silk around their body then it drools its poison on its victim causing the poison to melt away their outer skin bit by bit. Once the poison reaches their insides, the smell of fresh meat will be all around its victim causing the spider to eat its remains. In combat they will wait until their target is alone then will jump out from their hiding place to attack, they are typically in pairs with one spider aiming to poison and distract while the other looks for any items that they can carry on the target and steals it where they take it back to their web and tie it carefully in silk. When the battle is finished and both spiders are alive then they will take out the item from the silk and pour their poison on it having it melt onto the floor where they proceed to eat its remains.
