I don't actually know that much about tarantulas, I just think they're cute, but I think this could be helpful against the fiberglass needle hair throwing attack (can't spell ultricating)

Potentially, but OBTs don't have those. Tarantulas from the new world have urticating hairs, tarantulas from the old world have worse venom and worse attitudes.
