Gigantic Spider
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Gigantic Spiders are huge carnivorous arachnids that stalk forests and caves throughout the Warhammer world.[1]
Protected by plates of armor-like chitin and growing larger than Trolls, unlike the pack-oriented Giant Spiders that barely surpass small horses, Gigantic Spiders are solitary creatures.[2a] They consider anything that moves as prey, lashing out with poisonous bites.[1][2b] Goblin Shamans belonging to the Feaster from Beyond's Spider-kult are sometimes able to sacrifice enough to these woodland monsters to be rewarded with clutches of eggs, which are then raised to serve as mighty war mounts for Forest Goblin champions.[2b]
