Spider/Dangling Depth Dweller

"The darkness has drained the color from their fur."

- Wendy

The Dangling Depth Dweller is a Spider variant found in the Ruins. They drop from the ceiling when the player steps on their web.

On the ground, they can leap at enemies in the same way as Spider Warriors. Their webs are commonly found in the Sacred and Labyrinth Biomes, along with Ornate Chests. Their nests are stuck on the ceiling and unreachable, although they can be destroyed by igniting anything flammable in the center of the web.

Dangling Depth Dwellers have the same drops as all other Spiders: Monster Meat, Spider Glands, or Silk.

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill Dangling Depth Dwellers when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.

Tips

 * A resource-friendly way to dispose of a nest involves lighting a single log on fire directly underneath the nest. This can be done by positioning your character in the center of the web and dropping a log at your feet. When your character icon is covering the body of the spider icon on the map, you are standing in the center. Destroying the spiders that drop down first will make this task easier, but if multiple nests are located close to each other, more than two spiders might drop at the same time.

Trivia

 * Shadow Creatures that spawn from Nightmare Lights can activate the Dweller's web. If left unchecked, this will spawn a large number of Spiders over time.
