 ===Ice Spiders===
 Above all that, some spiders are ice spiders. Ice spiders are exactly like the normal ones, but they have a different color and they are resistant to the cold. That's it.

 |Very slow but fast on webs, has an extreme amount of health and damage. Stay near the webs, dammit! Otherwise, they work like guards. No poison.
 |}
 ==Spiderlings==
 This is a baby spider, created by either a nurse spider or [[Changeling|something far worse]], They have a suprisingly high amount of health and they move around fast, but don't attack and are not player controlled. They will run around for awhile until they grow into a big spider. They can and most certainly will use vents, so they're very good at not getting killed.
 ==So you're a spider==
 It seems science has gone too far! The spider will, depending on it's type, either go around killing, or laying eggs for the next generation of killers, or both. Some are better at the former, and others are better at the ladder.
 ===Objectives===
 The most important thing for spiders is ensuring that there will be another generation for the spiders. If you already have a lot of them, a steady flow of new spiders is to be expected but if you're just starting out, getting your first kill is the most important part of ensuring the survival of your species.
 If you came from xenobio, follow your directives, damnit! They are your most important objective, moreso than other spiders.
 ==Abilities==
 ====Webbing====
 This ability is used by all spiders, and by god is it great. Placing webbing will have a chance to prevent carbons from moving. Only decent, right? Well, it gets even better as you can stack webbing over and over making one tile you spend a lot of time reinforcing almost impossible to cross webs. Bait humans in and then go wild.
@@ Line 87: / Line 76: @@
 ====Lay eggs====
 Only for Nurse spider. Every cocooned body will feed you, allowing one use of lay eggs. Spawns a few spiderlings after awhile. Protect them, the eggs are easily destroyed
 ==So you're hunting spiders==
 So the spiders have run out of [[flyperson|flypeople]] to eat and now have a taste for human flesh! What do?
 ===Kill the Nurses===
 Remember, only nurse spiders can reproduce. If you kill all of them, you've already won. And, on top of that, they're easy to kill if you're careful. With only 40 health, a couple swings with any decent blunt weapon will take them out. They still are venomous so even if you kill them they can really injure you with toxins, so carry some [[Guide_to_chemistry#Medicines|medicines]]. Avoid other spiders if you can, as they're the ones who can wreck you.
 ===Flood with space===
+Spiders still breathe, which makes getting a spacesuit and removing the ship's air pretty viable. Now, obviously, this will incur the ire of your fellow spacemens, so it's more of a last resort. It does do a stellar job of killing spiders, though, as they can't put on a spacesuit. If you want to kill a lot of spiders without also turning your space ship into a spaced ship, you could just...
 ===Remove air from the vents===
 Spiders LOVE vents! They use them to get everywhere. They CAN attack doors to get around, but this takes forever and it's only a last resort for a smart spider. '''Don't fill it with plasma.''' Just remove the air from the vents by turning on 'Loop to Waste' and turning off anything that would feed the loop. That should create a space-like environment in the loop, which kills spiders who try to ventcrawl extremely fast. You can also add a freezer to the loop if you're experienced with atmos, and that'll kill them faster if combined with low pressure.
 ===Avoid webbing===
 Spider's webbing is their bread and butter. If they can't fight you, which hopefully is the case, the smart ones will recede back into their webbing and taunt you. Don't fall for it! Once you enter the webbing, the spider can destroy you, as you cannot move in some of the bigger webs.

-|This spider can lay eggs, very important. It's the only one that can reproduce, using the bodies of their victims. The spider is very weak, but may still hold it's own considering it has venom, even if it isn't as much as the hunter has. Build webs in your nest, and nag hunters for dead people. You can web them up which will feed you, allowing you to make even more spiders.
