>There are spiders that seek out magic users to take and wear

neat, anything else to add or is this a dead end thread?

I love zelda

>>50569784
Are these spiders naturally big or do house spiders find wizard skulls and just kind of squat there for a bit?

>>50571288
Maybe wizard brains are mutative; eating the tissue causes normal house spiders to grow unusually large while gaining some of the spellcaster's intelligence.

Of course. Wizard corpses are a common source of gigantic and/or magical vermin. Scavengers in particular often become magically infused in settings where animals can absorb magic.

>>50569784
And THIS is why you kill spiders with fire and extreme prejudice.

So how do they find magic users specifically? Are these super-intelligent, wide-travelling spiders that are roaming the world and looking for pointy hats? How do they kill the wizards when they find them?

Or do they just hang out in graveyards with tiny shovels looking for magegraves?

So that's why there are so many spiders in my house.

I assume it's like how in some zombie movies the zombies can sense the living through supernatural means.

If a mage dies and you don't quickly remove the body, a steady stream of spiders will be seen crawling toward his tower.

Make the abdomen a brain that they socket into the skull and puppet the body mimicking the victim but with a predisposition for perching in high places , only eating liquid food, and always wearing a hat

The merska wears the skin of its kill and gains its intelligence and some memories in order to trick others and eat them too. Its a bit like the insectoid version of the thing.

>>50569784
Oh look, another reason I should glass the forest. And it will save so much time with the one small goblin burrow we need to find.

Fuck off, Rachnera.

Wait, so if I wear the skull of a magic user will it also raise my intelligence?

>>50569784
So Hermit Crabs. . .
Just instead of crabs it's spiders, and instead of finding shells they kill people and wear their skulls.

neat. . .

Those spiders are fucking terrifying by sheer virtue of their intellectual capabilities.

>>50584550
>instead of crabs it's spiders
Fun fact: Crabs are arachnids.

Literally sea spiders.

You know, I'd think insects would be terrifying creatures in any sort of fantasy setting.

Because I'm a gigantic bundle of sticks I've been thinking of taking something like FF15 for the modern flavored science-fantasy feel but making it grittier like the poor have it bad because the bad part of town has human sized insects that prey on the homeless and occasionally the police have to go in with plate armor, machine guns, and swords to clear them out.

>>50588522
Insects are crazy when sized up:
> Naturally armored exoskeleton
> Powerful for their size and weight
>Many can fly
If you remove the oxygen and square cube law problems, you're left with a surprisingly powerful monster

The Gray Shiver is a spider that crawled into the skull of a destroyed Lich. It gains some of the Undeads magic and personality because of its proximity.

They're both Arthropoda. Crabs are Crustaceans not arachnids.

Thanks anon. I knew this thing existed in a monster manual already but couldn't think of the name.
