Colossal spider (SciiFii)

The colossal spider (Colossaracne magnificens) is a species of Mesothelae spider that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across North America and South America to help boost biodiversity. The colossal spider is the largest of all the known species of spider to have ever existed, growing to be about 2 feet (60.96 centimeters) in length and having the legspan of more than 3.5 feet (1 meter) across. The colossal spider is primarily brown in color with darker brown bands on its legs. Unlike many other Mesothelae spiders, the colossal spider does not make the orb webs, but rather hides in burrows in the ground and use its silk as creature trip lines that can pick up vibrations. If prey is detected, it ambushes its victim and when the spider kills its target it takes its victim back to its burrow where the colossal spider injects its digestive juices into the killed prey. The primary prey items of the colossal spider includes small reptiles, birds, and small mammals, and the colossal spiders even raids the nests of small reptiles and mammals. To the colossal spider, living in burrows always has its risks because it can easily be destroyed by a flood and if the colossal spider survives, it will have to wonder out in the open to search for another burrow as the colossal spider is unable to create its own and it does not like to share its home with others of their species, leaving a wondering colossal spider to be vulnerable to the larger predators. The colossal spider is known to make a clicking sound with its mandibles. The colossal spider makes a poor pet due to its large size for an arachnid and its aggressive tendecies, but despite being venomous, the colossal spider's venom is not lethal to any animal larger than a cat. The colossal spider is beneficial for farmers as it regularly hunts would-be-pests such as mice and rats. The conservation status of the colossal spider is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the colossal spider's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
