Spiders of Leng

Monstruous spiders that occupy territories neighbouring the Plateau of Leng. They are thought to be the children of Atlach-Nacha.
== Description ==
Spiders of Leng are similar to ordinary spiders, but much larger, smarter and highly venomous. Average spider is 2-3 meters in length and weights approximately one ton. They grow throughout their entire life, so specimens 5-6 meters in length often can be found. The largest known ones are even 8-12 meters in length.
== History ==
Long ago, the spiders controlled the entire Leng, until defeat after a war with the Men of Leng, who forced them to abandon much of their homeland and retreat back to the southern mountains and vales of that strange land. There they dwell to this day, ready to prey on any creature foolish or unwary enough to stray into their territory. They are also cannibalistic, turning on one another during times of famine.
