OMG ITS A SPIDER! And no I was not on crack. This was spawned 'cuz I like spiders and I thought one needed claws...
Its an arachnid, and a damn big one too. Razor-sharp claws, a frozen web, sharp fangs, a potent poison, speed, and a high resistance to cold are its strengths, but it fears fire above all else. Its another carnivore (Yay! ) but, again, it is nameless. Latin name is "Venenifer glacialis aranea" and common name is yet to be found, so help would be greatly appreciated ^^
The spider itself is the size of a Great Dane dog, and those are just the hatchings; a fully grown female is usually the size of a Clydstale horse. Basically...one big spider.The females are always bigger then the males, as with most spiders, and thus are more aggressive. Its webs are strong and large to compensate, and are frozen cold to the touch, which works to trap their prey just as well as the sticky threads, although its webs are less clingy. Its front claws, the biggest ones (As seen in the pic XD) are one of its most formidable weapons, able to crush bones if it gets its fabled "death grip" on you. Not an easy feat, and leaves the spider weakened, but a powerful strike indeed. It is fast when threatened or on its web, but cannot go fast at long distances, for it will tire easily, relying on the tactic of surprise and hitting hard to catch its prey. Its red eyes can be seen glittering in the dark, and its abdomen is one of its trademark features, namely the pattern upon it. The markings, usually in the shape of a daemonic twisted face, glow fiercely by some unknown means to intimidate its enemies. The more intricate and haunting the face, generally the stronger the spider. It will eat any sorts of meat, even its own kind, but will never eat plants or berries. Ever. It lives a solo life except for mating, the young hatching from the egg sacks completely alone and have to fend for themselves from the start. A thick layer of hair covers its body as isolation from the cold, but underneath that is an exoskeleton like all spiders, albeit weaker to any sort of fire then most. Found mainly in dark, dank caves in any sort of snow-covered land, it is a fierce opponent to face.
Wheeeeee! Did you enjoy the other ramble? Theres more! On other creatures tho Anyway....this was fun to draw and write. Seriously. I'm proud of this wee little bugger. And I hope you like it too!

venenifer literaly means 'oisonous' whereas veneficus is 'oisonous- in a magical sense'. glacialis means 'icy', or 'full of ice' and aranea actually means 'spiders web' but it was the closest I could find.
I feel all smart >_< but now I sound like my dad.... (hes a language buff XD) hope it could help! and I think it should be called the norweigen ice spider- but doesnt arachnid mean to have eight legs? your spider has ten... oh weeeell

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
A Special Collection of photographs i found this month that still haunts my mind. Show them some love There are always some i can`t include due to space, i try to make the features under 50 deviations to give them better exposure
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
