A Skein Spider

Skein Spiders are daedric imitations of giant spiders native to the Spiral Skein. They are often encountered with other minions of Mephala, and can be summoned by Spiderkith Brood Nurses.

They can be encountered attacking the College of Sapiarchs, and in the ancient ruins of King's Haven Pass. Many can be found in The Spiral Skein, and will also be spawned to prevent Valsirenn from opening a portal out of the realm. Others are also summoned during the defense at the ruins in Evergloam.
