Name of Species: Umbrosian Pack Spider
Homelands: Deep within the Umbrosian cave system, other dark places of the Umbrosian geography
Preferred Weapon: Teeth, Spider Webs, Stomach Acid
Unique Powers: Thermal sight, can follow heat trails, telepathic link with other spiders in its pack
Likes: large animals, people, darkness
Description: The Umbrosian Pack Spider is about the size of a medium-sized dog. It often travels in packs of about 3 or 4, with one spider being the Alpha Spider of the group. This spider is usually the strongest, smartest, or both of the group. While rare, Pack Spiders have been known to hunt on the surface when food is scarce. Pack Spiders hunt using a combination of misdirection, constraining their victim with their webs, and semi-liquefying with their stomach acid. Because a Pack Spider has no way of processing any non-nutrient rich food, regurgation of this stomach acid provides a way of removing any bits of the last meal that they could not digest, so don't be surprised if a Pack Spider vomits pieces of a skeleton onto you.
The Pack Spider appears as a larger version of the typical spider; however, it has one major difference. Instead of fangs, a Pack Spider has a mouth complete with large and always sharp teeth, ready to eat prey limb by limb, if need be; however, they do prefer their prey to be in a slightly liquid state when they begin to eat them. The pack spider has a mixture of black and dark gray across its exterior, allowing it to easily blend into the darkness. Against a creature not adapted to cave living, a pack of Pack Spiders can spell certain death and digestion.
For too long of a time to remember, Ces have employed the use of Pack Spiders while hunting or battling, recognizing the usefulness in their crafty ways of attacking and hunting. It is not uncommon for a Ces to bond his Ec'Cue with that of an Alpha Pack Spider, and thus be able to summon his pack when need be, as well as allowing the Ces to more easily use his skills to affect the spider and its pack. The Pack Spider is one of the Three Cardinal Familiars of the Umbrosian Ces.
