The southern forests of the Old World are full of all kinds of spiders, some of which grow to a massive size and are known as Giant Spiders. Their bodies are generally black or reddish-brown, sometimes with other, more brightly coloured markings, and their long hairy legs can clamber over the roughest terrain. Giant Spiders are deadly adversaries, with mandibles like steel pincers which can deliver a poisonous bite.
Forest Goblin tribes capture Giant Spiders when they are young and small, and raise them to be ridden as mounts.

[edit] Tome Text
There are hundreds of different species of arachnid in the world, and their appearance varies wildly based upon their surroundings and their proximity to the warping influence of Chaos.
The Giant Spider is a massive example of its breed, and the toxicity of its venom is certainly apace with its large size. As the beasts grow larger, they need to bring down proportionately larger prey to keep themselves fed.
"Herbord? There seems to be a large spider nesting in our garden. Could you take a large frying pan and shoo it away please?"

"Silke! The bloody thing's the size of a goat! Arrggh! I can't see! It sprayed me with something and I can't see! Silke, get help!
