Gargantuan Dragon-Eater

The Gargantuan Dragon-Eater Tarantula is by far the largest of all spider species in Thrae, whose name is a bit of a misnomer - they eat drakes, not dragons. Found in the forested regions of Thrae, these arachnids grow to the size of minibuses - and that's without the legs. It's covered in coarse, dark hairs, each individually bristled with hooks that cause irritation to skin. Its fangs are like a pair of oral swords, growing at three to four feet long and are capable of injecting a neurotoxin that paralyzes you almost instantaneously - however, you still feel every bit of pain as it sucks out your insides. You'll just be powerless to stop it. These hulking brutes have a disadvantage, however - their eyesight is poor, they are rather slow, and are not the brightest of all spiders. Gargantuan Dragon-Eaters are sought as mounts, wrangled and sold at Ebonridge.
