Giant spider

Beta

A Giant spider is an introductory monster in RuneScape. Many new players kill the level 4 giant spiders to train combat because of their low combat level and close location to the starting point in Lumbridge.

The level 27 spiders are rarely trained on, and are aggressive.

The level 57 Giant spiders are fairly accurate and can hit up to 74 LP, so it is recommended that players wear at least full rune armour and bring food (filling the inventory with food is recommended as the spiders drop nothing). Alternatively, players can bring a Bunyip, Saradomin Godsword, Unicorn Stallion, or a full set of Guthans to heal with. The spiders down there do NOT drop anything.

Trivia

 * The Level 57 Giant spiders that are found in the third level of the Stronghold of Security were once very popular with higher-levelled players due to the fact that they were aggressive to all players regardless of combat level, making it one of the most popular Free-to-play and Pay-to-play training spots, yielding between 25,000 to 60,000 experience per hour.
 * The examine information originally read that the spider had been "genetically modified" rather than "magically modified". The examine information for the level 50 Giant Spider in the Stronghold of Security, however, is still unchanged and remains as "genetically modified".
 * In the Hallowe'en 2011 event the player has to choose a giant spider to represent Famine in statue form; however famine's was said to be black.
 * The level 50 variety are slightly darker in colour than the lower level spiders.
 * All type of spider drops spider silk that can make into spider armour.Many player collect spider silk for money.Spider wand is the most expensive from all spider item.
