Notes
Poison Spiders live in the forests and dungeons of Tibia. They usually hunt small animals, but with their poisonous bite they can even kill animals that are bigger than them. Therefore, and as they always crop up in packs, they are quite dangerous for badly equipped adventurers.
Poison Spiders are a bit stronger than regular Spiders in that they hit harder and can poison you with venom a little stronger than that of a Snake's. It is not advisable to attack one below Level 4. Giant Spiders summon up to two Poison Spiders to break shielding and enable much stronger hits.

Behaviour
A poison spider attacks in melee range. A poison spider will retreat at 6 (23.08%, red) health.
Strategy
Losing one or two Hitpoints per turn due to poison is not worth using an Antidote spell or potion. Just eat Food to counter the poison, even if you are in Rookgaard.

After enough kills the player would obtain a Red Skull and would lose all items belonging to them upon being killed. More can be read in the news article "Content Fixes".
