The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).

They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.

      Wolves are for level 5 and bears are level 10. We have to start with the giant spiders first or the level 1 noobs won’t stand a chance.

      Now go and collect 10 bundles of silk thread. Killing 273 spiders should do it. Drop isn’t guaranteed.

    As long as they’re not inside my house, (and if they were, I would take them outside) I’d say it’s fine. They deserve somewhere nice to live (as long as it isn’t. inside my house)

    If they’re calling 25cm the size of a pizza… I’m doubting the rest. Size of an adult male’s hand? I’m small, and being generous, the width of my palm is 90cm.

    from Wiki:

    Adult females can have bodies of slightly over 20mm in length with a span of 70mm including their legs.

    That’s the size of the largest banana spiders I’ve seen. In FLORIDA.
