Ascoma Spider

Ascoma spiders are large, furry arachnids that live in deep forest areas, making their underground burrows in the undergrove. They feed upon small creatures, such as birds, and insects of varying size, although several of them are able to coordinate to take down larger prey. The spiders are capable of climbing and jumping, usually as a means of traversing their environment, although it can be used as an effective means of fighting.

The unique physical trait of the Ascoma spiders are the long, luminescent fungi that grow from their backs. The fruiting parts, the froops, can be harvested to distill a psychoactive drug that can alter one's perception and mood, enabling the user to see hallucinations and achieve a heightened sense of confidence.
