A Spider Gland is a healing item dropped by Spiders when killed or a Spilagmite when mined. It restores 8 Health when used by the players or when used on Mobs (including hostile enemies). Spider Glands can be used to craft Healing Salve.
Spider Glands are flammable and turn to Ashes when burnt by Fire.
Reign of Giants
In Reign of Giants, Webber can use 6 Spider Glands, along with 12 Silk and 6 Papyrus, to make Spider Eggs.
Don't Starve Together
In Don't Starve Together, Spider Glands are used to craft Telltale Hearts, that revive Ghost Characters. Spiders haunted by Ghost Characters always drop a Spider Gland when killed.
Usage
Trivia
- Spider Glands were added in the Doorway to Adventure update.
- Prior to the Moderately Friendly Update, the player could use Spider Glands to repair Walls.
- Looking at WX-78's quote on the Healing Salve and Woodie's quote on the gland itself, it is inferred that the player heals by using the spider's poison to kill harmful bacteria on their wounds.
