Tarantula Broodfather

"Monstrous Spider who poisons and devours its victims."

- Maddox the Slayer

The Tarantula Broodfather is a Slayer in the Spider Slayer branch. It is an agile Spider.

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.

It is also possible that after killing one of these Minibosses, another one could spawn immediately.
