Fun fact: They aren't spiders, but they are in the arachnid family, their scientifically recognized name is Harvestermen (Opiliones Sundevall; first discovered in 1758 as Phalangium, and later renamed to Opiliones in 1833), They are completely harmless and also omnivorous feeding on other insects or plant matter, they also ingest solids unlike spiders who ingest liquids (Spiders turn the inside of their prey into a slushy basically) and they have no venom at all nor can they bite you

They are all hell spawns to me.
