The '''Sunspire''' is a large [[blood elf]] [[tower]] on [[Sunstrider Isle]] surrounded by levitating satellite buildings. It is the first quest hub for beginning blood elf characters before they move onward into [[Quel'Thalas]]. It contains [[class trainer|class trainers]] up to level six for all blood elf [[Class|classes]], excluding [[Death knight|death knights]] of course. After finishing quests upon Sunstrider Isle, {{npc||Lanthan Perilon}} {{quest|Aiding the Outrunners|sends}} you to {{npc||Outrunner Alarion}}, and then to the [[Ruins of Silvermoon|Ruins of Silvermoon]].
Though many scholars believe that all '''spiders''' trace their roots back to the ancient kingdom of [[Azjol-Nerub]], the [[giant spider]]s of [[Kalimdor]] have made a claim to the shadowy corners of [[Ashenvale Forest]]. Though not necessarily evil, wild spiders can become fearsome opponents if they feel their nests have been defiled.{{Cite|W3Man|144}}
 
Spiders are fond of using poison spit and throwing webs upon their opponents. They are found in almost every continent of [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] and even in [[Outland]], with the exception of deserts (such as [[Tanaris]]) and snowy peaks (such as [[Dun Morogh]]). However, spiders can also be found inside caves or dungeons of those regions generally related to quests.

===Human Description===

[[pl:{{PAGENAME}}]]
:''Poisonous and huge, these spiders are found in dwellings long forgotten by time and man. Their bite is venomous, and their many legs make them an agile opponent. Having grown so large from years of hunting increasingly larger prey, they have learned to hide in dark places and attack from the shadows.''{{Cite|W1ManH|38}}

===Orc Description===
 
:''The Warlock clan have used their magiks to create the hideous abomination that they call spiders. Mutated from the smaller creatures commonly found in the area, these huge poison fanged beasts are twisted and predatory. While some are controlled by the Warlocks, many grow too large to maintain control over, and are released into the forbidden lands. These giant spiders lurk in dark, dank places and spin their webs, seeking to entrap the unwary.''{{Cite|W1ManO|58}}
 
 
==Appearance==
 
There are four models of spider: a tarantula-style with thicker, hairy legs, and three varieties of spindly-legged spiders. [[Smolderweb Hatchling]], a miniature [[Crystal Spider|crystal spider]], can be obtained as a [[small pet]].
 
 
*Not skinnable. There are a few exceptions, though (mainly the new bone spiders from {{wotlk-inline}}).
 
*Usually drop webbing, spider legs, spinnerets, mandibles (or fangs), or spider meat as loot.
 
 
==Species==
 
*Demon spider (aka Belsameth spider)
 
Demon spiders are created to serve the Scourge, though many have spread on their own. Nests of demon spiders are rumored to exist in southern Ashenvale. Some serve black spider broods.{{Cite|MoM|195}}
 
 
*Creeper spider
 
Creeper spiders are a species of spider found in the [[Hillsbrad Foothills]].{{cite|LoC|98}}
 
 
*Brown wolf spider
 
*[[Monstrous spider]]
 
*Black spider
 
*[[Bane spider]]
 
*[[Bone spider]]
 
*[[Giant spider]]
 
*[[Spitting spider]]
 
*[[Venom spider]]
 
 
== As a [[hunter]] pet ==
 
{{Petbox|Spider}}
 
 
* Spiders can root enemies with place with their skill, [[Web]], making them of special interest to some hunters. The spindly spider model, found both on [[Bloodmyst Isle]] and in Outland, makes a high-pitched screeching noise when it attacks, causing some hunters to use it to "creep out" other players.
 
 
== As a critter ==
 
Critter spiders seldom reach even 'large' size, and are never hazardous. (If they were, they'd be beasts!) They have been spotted in [[Ghostlands]], [[Howling Fjord]] and [[Terokkar Forest]], but they are also found in quite a number of instances, including (among others) [[Utgarde Keep]] and [[Utgarde Pinnacle|Pinnacle]], [[Mana Tombs]], and the [[Black Temple]]. Some quite modest sized ones have even been seen in [[Naxxramas]].
 
 
==Achievements==
 
Killing one of these is required for {{achievementlong|Pest Control}}.
