Glowing an eerie, pale white, the albino tomb spider clambers through underground tunnels, grottos and caves in search of anything alive it can trap and consume. Its long, thin forelegs reach out to grasp and drag potential food back to the glistening fangs, while its shorter, muscular back legs propel it forward with surprising speed. Totally hairless, the albino tomb spider gazes around through the only bodily part that has any color--its oversized crimson eyes.

Behind The Scenes
The extension of the burial mound in The Graveyard appears to be rooted in allusions to H.P. Lovecraft stories. These spiders would correspond to the spiders who battled the almost humans from the Plateau of Leng. It is a subtle link between Shadow Valley and The Broken Lands. Since the word "Vala" is used as a language game in the story, it is worth considering Ungoliant as a destroyer of trees, given the unexplained webs in Shadow Valley. In this context Bandur Etrevion reflects Morgoth, brother of Manwe, considering the Etrevions are analogs of Set and Osiris.
