{{flavour|A woven silk bag. Opening it will cover the area with webs, spiders, and other skittering things. Evocations skill increases spider quality, quantity, and webbing.}}

A '''sack of spiders''' is an evocable item which generates allies themed around the [[Spider's Nest]], and has a chance to create a [[web]] on hostile monsters in your [[line of sight]]. It can be used once before needing to be recharged with XP. [[Evocations]] affects the strength of allies, the chance to web opponents, and number of spiders.

This item is [[alternate items|mutually exclusive]] with the [[box of beasts]]. Like with other miscellaneous evocables, only 1 sack of spiders (or box of beasts) will spawn in a given game.

==Useful Info==
On use, you'll summon 2 plus (<code>2 * Evocations/27</code> to <code>4 * Evocations / 27</code>) spiders, randomly rounded.<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|evoke.cc|378}}</ref>

The following monsters can be created, in ascending order of power:<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|evoke.cc|346}}</ref>

If your [[god]] despises a certain creature, it will be replaced with another one.

Summons have a duration of 27 to 171 turns; it does not depend on Evocations skill.

You have a <code>36 + 2 * Evocations</code> % chance to web a hostile monster not already constricted.<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|evoke.cc|314}}</ref>

==Strategy==
At low Evocations, a sack of spiders will often make weak allies... but they can still be useful as meat shields, and a [[redback]] or two can be very helpful in the early-game. At high levels of Evocations, it can create powerful allies and consistently web (i.e. [[net]]) enemies.

==History==
*In [[0.31]], sacks of spiders were re-introduced and reworked. Prior to this version:
**They were a consumable item, which you could find multiple in a game. Each use had a 33% chance to consume the sack.
**You could fail to create anything; Evocations skill decreased the chances.
**The monster list was significantly different.
*Sacks of spiders were removed in [[0.25]].
*Prior to [[0.19]], sacks of spiders didn't stack. Instead, each sack of spiders had 5-15 charges.
*Prior to [[0.18]], you could summon [[giant mite]]s, [[spider]]s and [[trapdoor spider]]s at low Evocations.
*Prior to [[0.15]], the webs would be placed randomly, rather than targeting enemies.
*Sacks of spiders were added in [[0.13]].
