Prediction: If we had giant spiders, they would fight exactly the same as every other mob in TOR. Two legs, no legs, eight legs... doesn't matter. Every mob is exactly the same as every other mob except for the cosmetics.

Collicoids are worse than spiders.

If they were real, I'd have to agree.

Have you ever played Skyrim? Video game spiders never bothered me either until the giant one slowly descended on me from the ceiling.

I was thinking of Skyrim while reading the thread. And the "No Spiders" mod someone made for those who couldn't stand it.

We lived in a small mountain town in British Columbia. B.C. is known to have over 700 species of spider. Here is a pic of the ones that would frequent our home. You could hear them crawling up a wall, the pitter-patter of their eight legs.

Now, since I was in the basement, so were the spiders.

I would wake up in the morning with about a dozen of them, on the wall next to me, on top of my blankets, under the blankets keeping warm, and of course, on me.

I can't say I fear them, but can't help getting that icky-no feeling when I see them. I don't think anyone likes to wake up covered in large spiders.

If I went to Brazil and saw this, their government would have to declare war on me as I grabbed a flamethrower and started burning down their forests.

Once you've had close encounters with spiders, you're never quite the same after that....
Umm yeah, the first night that happened I would have burned that house to the ground. I got chills reading that.

I know it's irrational but even in a video game if they are too realistic they still unnerve me. When WoW updated some of the spider models the legs moved far too much like a real spiders. I think for me at least the source of the arachnophobia is the fast movement of the legs I particularly hate house spiders but Tarantulas not so much.

Are you talking about the one that turned the spiders into bears? I never understood how that was better.
