Giant spiders are monsters in ADOM. Like all spiders, they are able to spin webs and have a poisonous melee attack. They can also be summoned en masse by dark elven spellcasting monsters. Their poisonous attacks can be dangerous to early game PCs.
In version 1.1.1, giant spiders were prone to becoming very high leveled later in the game due to Uberjackal effect, since many of them are generated by summoners and thus killed in large numbers throughout the game.

Standard description
Among the largest of the arachnids, these have been reported as tall as a human, with long fangs ready to deliver a potent poison. At his size, the light fur covering the shell is apparent. Dark elves have been known to wear armor made from these beasts, although the secret of the making is closely held.
Alternate description
These spiders are larger and more aggressive than even the well-known large spider. Aside from being about 12 ft in diameter, it has a poisonous bite. Because of their size, giant spiders are almost always hungry. It seems to be eyeing you for its next meal.
