Tarantula Broodfather

The Tarantula Broodfather is a Slayer Boss in the Spider Slayer track. It is an agile spider boss.

Spawning
The Tarantula Broodfather spawns as the end boss of a Spider Slayer Quest after the required amount of Combat XP is earned by killing Spider-type mobs. When the last required mob is killed, purple particles will appear around the location of its death, and the Tarantula Broodfather will spawn in its place after a short time.

Drops
Level requirement listed is for Spider Slayer.

Behavior
The Tarantula Broodfather is a Spider-type mob hostile to all players. It has the appearance of a cave spider riding a spider. It is agile, able to move quickly, climb walls and jump huge distances. It deals melee damage. Often, it will change targets to other nearby players.

All Tarantula Broodfathers are immune to the abilities of Aspect of the Dragons and Ice Spray Wand.

As with all Slayer bosses, if the Tarantula Broodfather has not dealt damage to a player for some time, it will begin rapidly regenerating health. The regeneration immediately stops when it hits a player again. Additionally, if either it or its target stays in the same block for too long, it performs a slam-dunk attack, knocking the target towards it and dealing. If 3 minutes pass without the boss being defeated, it will despawn, failing the Slayer quest. A timer is shown above its head indicating the remaining time.

Each tier has all of the abilities from the ones before it.

Minibosses
These are possible Minibosses that could spawn upon killing a Spider when a Tarantula Broodfather Slayer quest is active. It is also possible that after killing one of these minibosses, another could spawn immediately.

Trivia

 * Bane of Arthropods VI may say it's an Extraordinary drop, but the chance is very similar to a Pray RNGesus.
