Though many scholars believe that all spiders trace their roots back to the ancient kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, the giant spiders 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.Template:Cite Spiders are fond of using poison spit and throwing webs upon their opponents. They are found in almost every continent of 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.
History
During the First War, orc warlocks were adept at summoning these creatures to fight for the Horde.
Human Description
- 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.

These giant spiders lurk in dark, dank places and spin their webs, seeking to entrap the unwary.Template:Cite
