This article is about Arachnos enemy types. For the Epic Archetype, see Arachnos Soldier.

Overview

There are three main soldier types within Arachnos:

Wolf Spiders
Crab Spiders
Bane Spiders

Wolf Spiders are the soldiers of Arachnos and are little more than legalized thugs; Lord Recluse recruits legions of desperate souls to fill their ranks. Arachnos's Crab Spiders are the Rogue Isles' SWAT and are sent in to clean up big problems. And only the best of the Wolf Spiders are allowed the grand honor of joining the ranks of the elite Bane Spiders.
