Spider Warrior

Tigerspiders are aggressive Monsters that live in Spider Dens. They are more dangerous versions of normal Spiders which only come out if their den is attacked or they are spawned by a Spider Queen. When killed, Tigerspiders drop Monster Meat, Spider Glands, or Silk; a valuable resource used in many crafting recipes. They take two blasts from the Ice Staff to be frozen. Tigerspiders are easily distinguished from regular Spiders by the yellow stripes on their skin.

Behavior
Tigerspiders emerge when a Spider Den is attacked. They will growl when they first spawn and then immediately begin to chase Wilson or any other creature that may have disturbed the den. After a short time they will give up the chase and return to the area near the den but stay outside until morning. Tigerspiders sometimes spawn from first-tier Spider Dens, and will always be present in second- and third-tier dens unless they have been completely emptied by killing all individual Spiders spawned from them (but not disturbing the nest itself).

Hunting
Tigerspiders are faster than normal Spiders and jump when they attack. Their attack has a considerable range and will often hit even if the animation appears to have missed. Once a Tigerspider has attacked, it has a brief cool-down period where it cannot strike again. During this time the Warrior can be hit with any weapon, causing it to be stunlocked. Most weapons require 3 or 4 hits to kill a Tigerspider.

Tigerspiders can also be killed using small animal Traps. If a trap is placed prior to the Tigerspider giving chase, it can be lead right into the trap and will be caught. When checked the trap will contain either a Monster Meat or a piece of Silk. Tigerspiders will sometimes be caught in Traps even if they jump over them while attacking.
