![]() ![]() So, the wolf spiders often will "duel" until one is badly injured or dead and then the victor will mate with the Wolf Spider and usually will defend her until all of the Spiderlings are large enough to forage on their own. ![]() However due to the vast number of male spiders it is common to run into another male spider who is wishing to mate with the female spider. That certain chemical can be detected by other Wolf Spiders and they do not come to the area unless there is a female spider (emitting pheromones either for mating or defending).Īs for how Wolf Spiders breed, they breed much like how their pre-war Counterparts do. Once that land is claimed by the Wolf Spider. It's speculated that the Wolf Spider drops a certain chemical on the ground that marks the area where it wishes to inhabit. They also tend to copy their pre-war warning in which they raise their front legs up as another sign of warning to ward off potential predators even though there are very few that predate the Wolf Spiders (mostly Super Mutants and Deathclaws, if they get close enough.)Īnother interesting feature of the Wolf Spiders is that they have evolved to become very territorial and they tend to protect their "web" or the area that they have claimed to be their home. The stunning intellect caused them also to utilize their venom which can be spitted out at key prey or as a means of a warning. However, while it is rare it is common for a male Wolf Spider to defend a female Wolf Spider carrying her eggsac even if the male spider has not mated with that specific spider as the female spider lets out an specific pheromone that attracts male spiders to defend her.ĭue to the heavy radiation from the multiple nuclear devices used in the Research Triangle, the intellect of the Wolf Spiders have increased significantly and they seem to have formed the ability to communicate with other Wolf Spiders by either tapping their front legs together or mandibles. Wolf Spiders only hunt alone and are not fond of communicating or hunting as a pack. Some abandoned vaults have had their entry-ways webbed by Wolf Spiders so that they can rest and do whatever they like which is mostly lay around when they are not hunting. Wolf Spiders pre-war did not form webs but post-war they have been spotted making webs in derelict caves or large enough buildings. Deathclaws, Radclaws and many other large pests) the Wolf Spiders tend to shoot as much venom as they can (usually three bursts) to get them to back away and leave the Wolf Spider alone since they end up being paralyzed by the heavy dosage of the venom. Wolf Spiders are known to be expert hunters when it comes to it, they are overtly hostile to wasteland ants and bloatflys as well as radscorpions and radroaches along with many other mutated insects. Wolf Spiders can often be observed grazing at a lake shore or pond shore where they are drinking from the water source and eating grass. Most of the time, a Wolf Spider will eat a few radroaches and go to bed or so and if it wakes up and feels hungry it will graze on grass. They also can eat grass which they do sometimes to spice up their diet but this is not a primary source of food for them. Also mutated worms and baby mutated crawfish. The diet of the average Wolf Spider consists of the various irradiated insects of the wasteland such as bloatflys, ants and radscorpions and radroaches. Since then, it's estimated that the original spiders from the Carolina Glowing Sea have expanded far beyond their original lands and have made it to the surrounding states around North Carolina which explains why they are seen in more states over time. This feeling can be numbed by applying lidocaine or another topical anesthetic to the site of the venom. It does not inflict humans with paralysis due to the venom being poorly absorbed by human bodies but rather causes them to have a severe stinging sensation for three days. Also due to radiation exposure and evolution they have managed to gain a new ability which is to spit their venom that can cause paralysis in insects and even arachnids which stuns them and makes them an easy meal. Much like their pre-war ancestors, they carry their egg-sac/baby spiders on their back when moving from a new home or so on. Wolf Spiders pre-war already had excellent eyesight but with their eyesight being increased even better due to the radiation makes them even more dangerous. It appears that the radiation enhanced their eyesight as they are able to see expertly in the dark and in the day. The average Wolf Spider weighs in at around 200 pounds and is about six feet off the ground thanks to it's long legs. Wolf Spiders post-war come in a variety of shades that match the environment they are in with most of them having a camo of sorts due to the various shades they come in which gives them an advantage over their prey. ![]()
