Snow Spider Kin to the giant spider, the snow spider is wreathed in snowy white fur. These spiders dwell in icy tunnels lined with dense, calcified webbing. Snow spiders set lengthy lines of hard webbing across their lair and in the surrounding area. Blending into the environment, these lines act as signals to the snow spider. Quietly stalking their prey, snow spiders either use their large size to overpower their prey or bite their victim, fleeing while their freezing venom takes effect before returning to drag helpless food back to their den, where their eggs can be found. In time, the eggs hatch into young snow spider. When many snow spiders inhabit an area, they will occasionally hunt in packs, fighting with one another over potential prey.
