<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>The mammoth arachnid towers over its prey, fangs dripping poison mixed with fresh blood from its last kill shortly ago. Its entire body is draped with long, coal black hair, with the exception of a small patch on the very rear tip of its bulbous abdomen. This contains the spinnerets it uses to effectively web its prey before injecting the victim with a caustic poison, resulting in slow disintegration from the inside. The arachnid's eight crimson eyes dart about, making certain no prey, no matter how small, escapes.</pre>

==Hunting strategies==
Mammoth arachnids are no longer immune to punctures as they once were, but may or may not be puncture resistant.

The mammoth arachnid's webbing combat maneuver can make it particularly fearsome if you have poor [[Dodging]], no [[Mobility]] / [[911|Blurs]], or if you are encumbered. Depending on the amount of webbings that strike you, it can mummify you partially, completely, or even knock you to the ground and damage one of your legs or hands.

Mammoth arachnids have high [[perception]], making it difficult to hide and stay hidden. A blinding strike to the eye or strong shot to the head can quickly diminish this perception, making hiding much easier. They do not have necks or chest, for purposes of aiming.

==Other information==
Mammoth arachnids cannot be stunned. They also cannot be [[sweep|swept]] or [[subdue]]d.

Although they do not wear physical [[armor]], their exoskeleton provides protection equivalent to brigandine armor [[AsG]] 12. Since there is no actual armor worn the [[CvA]] value is +25.

==Messaging==
<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>A mammoth arachnid spins webbing about your dead body!

A mammoth arachnid's legs twitch in excitement as it eyes the possible meal before it.

The mammoth arachnid leans back on its trembling legs, eight eyes focusing at myriad points in front of it.

A mammoth arachnid's abdomen trembles slightly as its legs paw nervously at the ground.</pre>

4PLANK:

I've removed flare messaging that was outdated <del>either improperly collated or previously buggy -- all the ones first included on this page used "stampede" but that's not the default for these animal types</del>. Personally confirmed that rodent and lion stock are correctly horde and pride, respectively. [[User:PRICKLIES|PRICKLIES]] ([[User talk:PRICKLIES|talk]])

I am slowly moving the weapon-specific and shield-specific information over to their respective pages and will be adding more to the armor page as well. This is in progress. [[User:MOD-GSMOTTE|MOD-GSMOTTE]] ([[User talk:MOD-GSMOTTE|talk]]) 15:48, 21 March 2021 (CDT)
