Spider

Spiders are found all over RuneScape, but most notably in the Stronghold of Security, where they can be found at combat level 24 and in large numbers. Spiders are usually considered a nuisance and drop no items. It should also be noted that the level 24 spiders are aggressive and can hit up to 6 damage. Like rats, they usually do not appear on the minimap. It should be noted that they can drop charms.

Training
Spiders have recently been discovered to be good for training Magic. Players typically do this by wearing a full melee set to get their magic attack bonus as low as possible in order to splash nearly every spell. This allows them to autocast for an extended period of time with minimal input. Players should not leave their keyboard while doing this, as it is against the rules and could result in offenses applied to their account.

Trivia

 * In the Haunted Woods west of Port Phasmatys there is a small Spider that has no Combat Level and cannot directly attack a player. However, it will chase after a player as if it were attacking them.
 * It was discovered during the 2009 Halow'en event that spiders come from the Spider Realm, a different realm to RuneScape.
