What appear to be strands of spider web are emerging from the bottom of this egg.
Because they were created from dark magic, these giant spiders have the unfortunate tendency to become evil. They must be raised carefully from birth, lest they learn to take pleasure in rending flesh and tormenting all living things. It is fortunate that the magi have taken it upon themselves to make sure that these arachnids no longer cause violent events. So far, the endeavor has been successful – none of these spiders have injured anyone, but there is something different about them... the way they skitter along in the edges of shadows, something about their eyes... No one quite trusts them, and many will have nothing to do with them. Villagers in particular fear them, which is not particularly strange, given their past. Once controlled by an evil magi, Namista's spiders gleefully destroyed villages and carried out their master's orders. It is only recently that these strange creatures have been considered companions; it was not long ago that they were terrors to everyone. It is still not common for magi to choose one of Namista's spiders as a companion. Those who do are usually curious about dark magic, though everyone knows how fatal that can be. Namista's spiders turned on their own creator, as unnatural beings often do. Even though the woman trained them carefully, the spiders have vicious temperaments. These arachnids have such great potential for destruction that none are allowed to exist in the wild.
