Eek



Eek is a "pet" spider players get from the 2009 Hallowe'en event, Web of Shadows. After the event, members can place Eek in their Player-owned house Menageries or Toy box.

Unlike most pets, Eek does not eat, cannot be fed anything and does not follow you, instead she is wielded in the weapons slot.

During the 2009 Halloween event, the player must hold Eek and travel through the Grim Reaper's house, covering various pieces of furniture in spider webs. After the player finishes spinning sixty-four webs and completes the event, the Queen will allow Eek to stay with the player, at Eek's request.

Players have the right-click option of Talk-to, in which a random conversation takes place between the player and Eek, and Play-with, in which the player performs an emote with Eek spinning a spider web and dropping down.

In a certain conversation, where Eek asks the player if they are scared of spiders, if the player selects the "Yes, I'm scared of spiders" option, Eek starts acting like an "eight-legged mouse" and her dialogue name changes to "Eek the eight-legged mouse".

Eek is given to the player by the Spider Herald, after being instructed by the Spider Queen to fill the Grim Reaper's house with webs so the Spider will move out of Grim's bath.

Dialogue
=Glitches=


 * A glitch was discovered when a player would play with Eek the Spider, and activate the Home Teleport. Eek would become invisible and the teleport would keep going.
 * A glitch was discovered where you would play with Eek, and then use the zombie hand emote. It would look like a zombie was pulling eek into the ground
 * Another glitch was discovered when a player would attack a player that holds Eek the Spider in his/her hands with kick attack style they would punch instead.
 * Upon Eek's release, while wearing her and a shield you wouldn't see the shield unless you were walking.
 * When you play with Eek, and do the snowman dance the web floats.
 * A glitch was discovered when a player would play with Eek the Spider and attempt to do the "stomp" emote. Eek and the web would become invisible, but the player would do the same movements as if Eek was still there.
 * If a player used the play emote then recited a prayer from a God Book Eek would keep doing the emote while the player is still reciting the prayer.
 * If a player is sitting on a throne in a POH whilst holding eek and select the play option the web will appear out of nothing If the player then logs out the throne will disappear.
 * Another player found that if you sit down with Eek equipped, she will disappear.
 * A glitch was discovered when a player would wear a ringmaster shirt while having eek equipped. When eek runs up your arm, down to the other arm and back to the original hand, a black triangle is skewed across the players body.
 * There's a glitch that if you try to take a picture of Eek for your Adventure log in your full body picture your cape disappears and Eek does too, this has not been fixed.

Trivia

 * Every few moments, while wielding Eek, she will run up your arm and shoulders and move to the other arm, moving back to the original hand when the player moves it closer.
 * Eek is similar to a Yo-yo, and she is curious about the land.


 * Eek can be stored in a players menagerie despite not being a "pet".
 * Eek is also female. If you check the dismiss message it says, 'You can pick her up again from Diango in Draynor.'
 * Eek looks like a specimen of Mygalomorphae better known as tarantula. This kind of spider doesn't weave their web like shown in game animations.
 * Sometimes Eek will ask you if you are scared of spiders, if you reply yes, Eek apologises and will pretend to be an eight legged mouse. Her chatname will temporarily be changed to "Eek the Eight-Legged Mouse.
