Bane Back spider

The Bane Back spider was a subtype of gaping spider, an arachnid creature native to the planet Dathomir. A mutated variant, this creature was larger, stronger and more resistant to average gaping spider.
==History==
The existence of the Bane Back spider was first reported during the Galactic Civil War. An individual by the name Geeot Nuetia encountered such creature during a hunting trip on Dathomir after the Battle of Yavin. He later claimed in the Corellian newspaper Coronet Gossip that a 50-meter tall Bane Back spider attacked him and pretended that he killed it with a thermal detonator. Later, a journalist went to Dathomir to investigate the creature but only found 2-3 meters tall spiders.
Then, in 1 ABY, adventurous spacers traveled to Dathomir in order to hunt Bane Back spiders. The creatures were known to have been seen near the Spider Clan Cave. After killing a spider, one of the spacer later used a carapace as a trophy.
