Terror Spiders are the result of a [[Syndicate|Syndicate]] experiment that combined [[Spider|giant space spider]] and [[Xenomorph|Xenomorph]] DNA.
Like Xenomorphs, they are intelligent, and form a hive that acts aggressively against humanoids in the area. They also travel through vents.
Like giant space spiders, they tend to wrap things in webs, drink human blood, and multiply by laying eggs that hatch into spiderlings.
They tend to be extremely strong in melee, but weak to ranged weapons. For special attacks, they tend to use a variety of deadly poisons, delivered by biting their targets.

== Fighting Them ==
* Weld vents and scrubbers. Even fully-grown Terror Spiders can ventcrawl. They '''will''' run around murdering the whole crew if you fail to weld the vents.
* Carry a gun. Melee weapons are '''not''' good enough to fight the vast majority of terror spiders. Laser weapons are preferable.
* Travel with friends.
* Don't travel into dark/webbed areas.
* Don't walk into spider webs.
* If bitten by a Black Terror, or White Terror, seek '''immediate''' medical help. You will be dead (or worse) within minutes if you don't do this.
* Don't let them create a nest. The longer their nest exists, the more of them they can produce.
* If you are security, consider arming the crew. Terror spiders can be as dangerous as blobs, even worse in some cases. Arming the crew is '''safer''' than having a serious terror spider infestation.
* If you are science, make AEGs. Make sure security have them. Night vision HUDs help too. The best weapon against Terror Spiders are mechs, especially mechs with lasercannons.
* If you are cargo, consider ordering eguns/laserguns.
* If you are command, get the crew organized. Remind people of what to do, and what not to do. Remind the assistants that these things are '''serious business''', and hunting them with a toolbox is suicide.
== Playing Them ==
* Destroy lights. You can smell blood, and see in the dark. Crew can't.
* Destroy cameras. They emit light, and let the AI see you.
* Incapacitate crew. Once incapacitated, drag them to a green, who will web them and drink their blood.
* Spin webs. They stop crew in their tracks, and even block shots to a limited extent. They have no effect on you, or any other terror spiders.
* Ventcrawl to find targets, and to escape groups of armed humans.
* Each spider type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Know them. Don't try to fight a mech with a black, a chemist with a white, or a sec officer with a gray.
* Follow the orders of the Queen of Terror, if one exists. The queen has the right (and the brute strength!) to tear you in half if you don't.
* If you are injured, go after easy targets for awhile. You regenerate slowly over time.

|-
!Regenerate
|speed varies
|Terror spiders constantly regenerate health at a low rate. Certain actions increase this rate.

|Through the hivemind, the death of any one terror spider is immediately known to all of the others.
|-
!colspan=3|Active Abilities

|Spins a Terror Web. These will block some projectiles one time, and ensnare any humanoid who enters them for several seconds.
|-
!Ventcrawl

|-
!Wrap
|once per corpse

|-
!colspan=3| Green Terrors can also:
|-

|-
!
|

|-
!Erase Brood
|???
|Declares a brood unfit for the swarm of terror, causing every spider in that brood to degenerate and die.

!Spiderling Flood
|???
|Forces eggs in her egg sac to hatch early, producing potentially dozens of spiderlings at a time. All will grow up with murderous intent.

== Objects & Drops ==
* Spiderling: Non-playable baby spiders. They move very quickly and like to hide in vents. Humans must kill them. Spiders must keep them alive.
* Terror Webs: Extremely sticky webs placed by spiders. Can be destroyed easily. Attempting to walk through them is highly likely to ensnare any human.
== Questions ==
* Do terror spiders need oxygen? No.
* Are they affected by space/pressure? No.
* Can I kill them with fire? Yes, but it is very hard.
* Can I kill them with toxins? No. They ignore plasma in the air, and syringes/syringeguns don't work on them (they do not process reagents).
* How do I play as one? Click on it as a ghost. There may also be a notice in ghostchat when a terror spider is controllable.
* Can adult terror spiders travel through vents? Yes.
== Guide For Xenobio ==
* Can I spawn these as hostile mobs with a gold slime core? No.
* Can I spawn these as tame mobs with a gold slime core? No.
* Can I use a sentience potion to make one loyal to me? No.
* Will I get brutally murdered if I try interacting with a wild one? Yes!
