Gem Spider

The **Gem Spider** is one of the creatures in Pixark.

## Museum descriptions

### Wild

Gem Spiders flaunt the gems on their backs, which is one reason they're a favorite target of hunters.

### Tame

Although Gem Spiders are not good at fighting, you can still tame them for gems.

### Subspecies

Sparkling gems are the Gem Spiders favorite thing of all time, so it comes as no surprise that some have mutated to carry a large gem on their back, which can be used as a light to illuminate its surroundings (hold E to activate).

## Taming

**Note:** Non-magical Sleepy Arrows fired from a bow or crossbow deliver extra torpor over time for 5 seconds after impact. Only two instances of this effect can be in effect at once - a third arrow hit before the effect has fully resolved will result in potential torpor being wasted. For maximum efficiency, time your shots so that they land 5 seconds apart. The numbers given here are assuming you do so.

For passive tames, there is a long wait between the first and second feedings as the creature eats, after which it follows the feeding intervals listed. These feeding intervals are estimates - the actual interval will vary per-creature based on random chance.

Eats meat

You must stay in the magic forest while taming otherwise it will run away from you.

Does not require a saddle to ride.

## Utility

Can turn **10 Quartz** into seven types of magic stones, but only when **patrolling!**

## Additional notes

* The creature data file states that **Gem Spiders** can create Fire Magic Stones in their inventory but tests of leaving them on wander with meat in their inventories have not been able to accomplish this.
