/* Overview */
Unlike the other giant arachnid in the Mazes, the [[giant scorpion]], giant tarantulas do not have natural layers of armor, instead being frighteningly quick and agile. This species possesses the fastest average land speed of all giant insects native to the Mazes, capable of crawling at up to 50 ft/s (about 34 mph), though they can occasionally perform short bursts of speed, up to 70 ft/s (~48 mph).
More frightening than their speed is their bite. Like with all tarantulae, their bites are venomous and their venom is quite potent. They are capable of biting targets and injecting potent venom up to four times in five seconds, or roughly 0.8 bite bites per second.
The only silver lining to encountering one of these creatures is that since they possess no chitinous armor, they can therefore be defeated using expanding bullets. However, one must take care not to use too weak a caliber (or melee weapon, if that's your specialty) when engaging them, as giant tarantulas are surprisingly resistant to pain and may continue fighting even if they have been hit multiple times. The only way to make sure these creatures are dead is when they curl up and shrivel, just like their smaller variants. A giant tarantula that is not moving but not shriveled may simply be knocked out and may recover at any moment.
