That just talks about a character being arachnophobic, it says nothing about the presence of giant-sized spiders.


->''"You know what I like? Arms and legs. Two of each, to be precise. Some sorts have four legs, and two arms, and you know, I'm fine with that. Six limbs at most. That's reasonable, right? More than that, we have a problem."''

->SPIDERS are rare. This is fortunate because they are always of enormous size and venom. They lair in certain WOODS and in CAVES, where shorter and slighter Tourists may be seriously inconvenienced by their gigantic webs made of sticky, rope-thick strands. Often only a special SWORD will cut these webs, and it usually takes two or more Tourists to defeat the Spider. The reason for the monstrous size of Spiders in Fantasyland is that their former prey, INSECTS, no longer exists (see also ECOLOGY), so that Spiders have been forced to evolve into something big enough to entrap DWARFS, GNOMES, and small succulent humans.

->[[DarkIsNotEvil Arachne is quite safe]] – well, more or less – but she's every arachnophobe's worst nightmare, and even people who aren't scared of spiders are likely to scream the house down the first time they meet a tarantula bigger than their car.

->''It was not a spider. It couldn't be a spider, though it wore the shape of one. The monsters they had faced before were pale shadows of this thing, foals huddled beneath their mother’s barrel. Its legs were as thick as trees, and if it cared to it could reach up and touch the third-story window of the town hall. Its fat body was larger than the cottage Vermilion's parents called home. It strode casually through the ruins of somepony's home and into the square.''

->''It showed a creature that resembled a huge spider, hundreds of feet tall, lying on its side, its legs working the air feebly. It was surrounded by a charred cocoon of spider silk and the corpses of countless spiders. However, more were erupting up from the ground and forming from its blood, which was puddled around it. Further more, the charred marks on its exterior were fading, and ichor was no longer leaking from it.''
