At range, they can trap you in [[web]]s and shoot bolts of [[negative energy]]. They are found in the [[Spider's Nest]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*Incredibly high threat enemy. If you aren't immune to poison (and aren't a [[Formicid]]), getting hit in melee should be treated like '''[[instant death]]'''. Just one hit can [[paralyse]] you for 3 turns, which is enough for a crowd of spiders to kill you from 100% health. A jorogumo ''by itself'' can deal up to 240 negative energy damage in 3 turns, enough to kill most characters without rN+.
:That's not to mention its spells - Ensnare halves [[EV]] and prevents you from moving and attacking with melee and ranged weapons. Bolt of Draining is high damage.
*Their [[willpower]] is moderately high, though [[Hexes]] or [[Evocations]] specialists can hex them somewhat reliably.

==Trivia==
A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jor%C5%8Dgumo Jorōgumo] is a type of creature from Japanese folklore that takes the forms of beautiful women to lure in and deceive others before preying upon them.
