Henzell says...
  1. Moderately uncommon spider, mostly found in the Spider's Nest. Tries to maintain its range, and shoots orbs of destruction to try and make you side-step into webs. Continues the long, proud tradition of pun monsters.
  2. Occasionally more dangerous to the player than to its allies, but not very often.
  3. <|amethyst> Orb spiders are inherently superior to players, and you have done the world a great service by letting evolution take its course.
