Bonding Requirements
A very small amount of insect lore, no more than nine points.
NB: if a war spider is already "owned" by an NPC, it cannot be bonded; however, it can be made free by killing the owner.
Known Abilities
It is very physically powerful, attacking with poison spit, exsanguinating bite and webbing, as well as more conventional melee. It breathes air, eats meat, and can see in the dark.
nb: war spiders seem to have quite low endurance, and exhaust themselves after ~10 rounds in combat even at effort levels below 100%.
