Mind Control Spiders are not true creatures in the same sense as other spiders listed on this page. They can only be created by using the respective Spider Scroll. In appearance, they are identical to oil spiders.  

As their name implies, these spiders attach to an enemy when thrown and can control the enemy to make them fight for you. When a target is being controlled by the spider, it becomes covered in a network of bright yellow webs. A few of them can be seen within White Ridge Sanctum attached to bandits who are being experimented on by the sorceress Merilar Rendas, but they disappear when the bandits are killed.
