## Appearance

**The Spider** appears as a black ball with red dots and tentacles around it, giving it a "spider-like" appearance, thus the name. Their tentacles are long, about 10 feet. Their eyes are all different sizes and is all around its body, as well as their tentacles. The red on their body glows in the dark. Their bodies are squishy, but the main, black part in the middle can have things pushed into it.

## Behaviour

**The Spider** is a hostile creature. They will wander around anywhere, usually in dark places or in the night. They hunt down any creature that they can find easily. Some of the most common creatures that The Spider eats are gigglers, enphosians, gazos, and gloobers. The Spider mostly goes off their sense of touch and hearing because their eyes aren't too good at seeing. The Spider is an ambush predator, climbing up onto high places, and waiting for something to pass underneath it. When it detects something is near, it will grab them with their tentacles, and push them into its body, where it digests it. The Spider is also able to create temporary webs by excreting a glowing dark red subtance that is almost as sticky as The Spider's tentacles, called stickstuck. Stickstuck soon melts into a harmless, brown slime after around a day, making it just as sticky as the glue on a post-it note. Stickstuck is used to trap creatures, so The spider can hunt easier. The red parts of the tentacles on The Spider are the part that sticks to things. This is because this part is filled with stickstuck, and it is very strong too. Although The Spider can easily detach them from any type of suface. If one of their tentacles gets cut off or severely damaged, they can remove the tentacle, and regrow a new one within 12-20 hours. It is almost impossible to kill The Spider because of their quick regeneration and high intelligence.

## History

### Creation

Not much is known about how The Spider was created, but there are a few hints. Enphoso was confirmed to have created The Spider as a weapon against glaggles to be used in battles, or to scare the glaggles. Enphoso seemed to have created stickstuck, and modified it in several ways to create The Spider. Evidence of this is shown in chopped of tentacles from The Spider, which the entire thing was just made of stickstuck, rubber, and other materials. Not much is known about the main body or eyes though, as those parts are yet to be examined by scientists.

### Experiments by Enphoso

Shortly after Enphoso created The Spider, he began to do many experiments with it. The first documented one was when Enphoso was testing The Spider's strength. 5-7 kidnapped gigglers were given knives, and put into The Spider's chamber. All but two of the gigglers survived. The two survivors used the knives to fight the enphosians running the experiment, and escaped into Glooberland, where they were helped. The other gigglers, however, weren't as lucky. What exactly happened is unknown, but it is assumed they were eaten by The Spider. Another documented experiment was to see how The Spider would react to enphosians. Five enphosians were put into the The spiders chamber, with armed gaurds keeping watch of them. The spider ended up eating one of the enphosians, while the others were able to escape unharmed. This Experiment caused the enphosians to attempt to train The Spider to not eat enphosians, and help them. This experiment was discovered by messages from the Enphosoweb that were picked up by Glaggleland staff. Some other experiments on The Spider were tests to try and tame it better. These encluded taking it outside to see if it can navigate through areas with enphosians without eating them

### Escaping containment

Exactly how The Spider escaped Enphoso is unknown, but there are a few who claim to have seen/know how it happened, and their are many good guesses. One of the most popular guesses is that The Spider escaped during an experiment where it had to leave containment, possibly to see if it had learned anything from training. The Spider may have escaped during one of these tests, and was never recaptured. Other theories suggest that The Spider was purposly let go, or freed by someone or something, although these are highly unlikely because The Spider still eats enphosians.

### Currently

The Spider is still roaming freely today, and that will most likely not change for a while. There have been many attempts to kill it. One of the most notable attempts were by a small group of risios that encountered it. The risios attacked it, even ripping off a few tentacles. Two risios were killed, 3 were eaten, while only one survived. The Spider was last seen in the The Blumper Forest by a group of hikers. Scientists are also trying to find ways to use stickstuck to assist the glaggles to make tools and weapons. The only problem is that stickstuck gets very weak after around a day.

## Trivia

* The Spider could possibly be related to enphosians. Tentacles that were cut off seem to have some enphosian DNA, along with other things make make it the way it is.
	+ However, this could be because it ate many Enphosians.
* Some claim to have seen The Spider change colors to be blue and green. This is not confirmed though.
* The Spider seems to not age. So waiting for it to die is not really an option.
* When a tentacle gets cut off, it usually regrows in a new location, moving eyes and other tentacles out the way.
* The Spider needs to eat to not die, but it can go many years without eating.
* The Spider makes sounds like normal animals. These are usually low, quick, and loud rumbling sounds, and when frightened or hurt, they can be a deafening screechs.
* The Spider is scared of fire, gunshots, bright lights ect. This can be used to survive an encounter.

## Stickstuck

**Stickstuck** is a subtance that is produces by The Spider's tentacles. It is very sticky, and is extremly difficult to remove. It is used by The Spider to create temporary webs to trap prey. It dries within a day, and turns into a brown, wrinkled, weak slime.

## History

Stickstuck was first discovered when a group of hikers discovered a stickstuck web created by The Spider. The one of the hikers, when going to check out the stickstuck, got stuck in the web, and had to be rescued by the other hiker by cutting the web. After a few days, scientists began looking for stickstuck to examin it and to do some expeiriments with it. The supply of fresh stickstuck is very low, due to how rare it is to find.

## Uses

Currently, there aren't many uses for stickstuck. There have been many attempts to try and get stickstuck to be useful to the glaggles, like a strong glue. But so far, there has not been a way to keep the stickstuck from drying up, and weakening. Dried stickstuck is sometimes used by a company in glaggleland, called Spider Slime, where they turn the dried stickstuck into slime for people to play with. The dried stickstuck can also be used as post-it note glue and a temporary fix to broken objects.

## Experiments

### Longer freshness

There have been countless attempts by all different scientists around Glagworld to try and find a way to make it so that stickstuck is fresh for longer, or permenently. The closest attempt that scientists got to making it last longer was when the combined it with goobab juice. Different colored goobab juice had different effects on how long it will take to make the stickstuck dry out. Red goobab juice made the freshness last for half a day longer than normal, grey goobab juice made the freshness last for one day, while black goobab juice caused the stickstuck's freshness to stay for two and a half days.

### DNA fusing

Due to the idea that The Spider may be related to The Nightgarger, by fusing The Nightgarger's DNA with stickstuck. This caused scientists to start taking fresh stickstuck, and combining it with the DNA of different species of glaggles.

The first attempt was with a giggler. When fusing the giggler DNA with the stickstuck, the stickstuck turned yellow in the middle, growing short, stick-like tentacles out of its body similar to The Spider, with red at the end, and started trying to move around with them. The stickstuck started deforming it's shape when moving around, and making small, high-pitched squelling sounds. After about 6 hours, the stickstuck dried up, and died.

The second attempt of the DNA fusing was of a gazo. The stickstuck turned a purpleish-blue color after being fused the DNA. It grew tentacles all over it's body again, like the giggler fusion. The tentacles were thicker this time, and the end of the tentacles, instead of being red, they were purple. The stickstuck started making low rumbling sounds, was a little agressive, and lasted about a day and a half before drying up.

The third and final attempt was combining stickstuck with enphosian DNA. When the scientists fused the stickstuck and the DNA, the stickstuck ddidn't grow tentacles like the rest, instead it grew glowing white dots, and started attempting to jumping onto some scientists in an attempt to infect them. It dried up and died within 30 minutes, as the white dots burnt out.
