A huge monster in the form of a jumping spider.

Giant jumping spiders do not share the web-spitting ability nor poisonous fangs of other spider species. They may be considered the least dangerous kind of giant spider, however they are still more than a match for an untrained, weaponless dwarf. Like other spiders, they are immune to stunning and pain, so your dwarves should focus on killing blows, not disabling attacks.

Like all the other new giant bugs introduced in 0.34.01, giant jumping spiders are not large predators and will generally leave your dwarves alone. They only live a maximum of 3 years and cannot breed, making them a poor choice for training and display.

Despite their name, giant jumping spiders are currently unable to jump; dwarves may still admire them for their ability to leap (or their striking appearance), however.
