Small Spiders, while still much larger than the common house spider, are smaller than the average spider encountered throughout the game. Beyond their unusual size, about that of a large dog, they have no remarkable traits except that, unlike most spiders, small spiders are unable to poison a target creature with a successful hit. However they are still immune to Web, but can be affected by other immobilizing spells such as Entangle.
The two small spider creatures detailed on this page have their allegiance listed as neutral, but they instantly become enemies upon sight of any party member.
