Sand Spiders are large black insectoids, with between 5 and 8 legs apiece, tipped with claws, and a crown of three breathing tubes that can be sealed against the dust. At rest a Sand Spider is low to the ground, a little less than a pace in height, but they can rear up to the height of a Krakath (taller than a Keldian). They have red markings on their squat abdomens. Sand Spiders speed across the deserts of the Bright Size in packs of 4 (Level 1) to 10 (Level 2), keeping to rocks and shadows. They commonly hunt small lizards and insects, but will readily try a group of Keldians, even mounted, although they will just as readily retreat. Sand Spiders can easily survive the loss of one or more limbs, and regrow them on their next moult. Sadly Sand Spider meat is pale and distasteful, but the breathing tubes make useful tools.
