'''Poison spiders''' are NPCs which can be found in many locations, including the [[Wilderness]]. These creatures have very few benefits to players wherever they are present, as they have little to no [[drops]], are fairly accurately able to [[poison]], and can accurately [[maximum melee hit|hit]] up to 72 with [[melee]]. The [[poison]] of these spiders starts at 62 damage per hit. Contrary to popular belief, [[Protect from Melee]] does '''not''' prevent them from causing poison. As with all spiders they will very rarely drop [[charms]].<br />
<br />
They are generally hated by most players, as they make any location that much more difficult to survive in. Especially irritating to players training on [[Black Demons]] in the [[Edgeville Dungeon]], they are a notorious irritation to players who are in between kills. These creatures pose a threat to players during the [[Family Crest]] quest during the battle battle with [[Chronozon]]. However, with the release of the member's loyalty program, the [[poison purge]] aura, which causes poison damage to heal you, could make make these monsters beneficial.<br />
<br />
Their attacks cause poison only if they inflict damage or, for players using [[Protect from Melee]] or [[Deflect Melee]], if the spiders '''would have''' hit for damage. They usually land a successful hit in the first 2 attacks if the player is not wearing good armour or has a low [[Defence]] level. The presence of these creatures generally forces players to bring anti-poison methods, wasting an inventory slot which could have been used for other useful supplies. If players get afflicted by poison without a cure method present, they must either evacuate the area or attempt to last out the poison, wasting food as a total of 972 damage would be dealt before the poison expends itself, or more if the spiders manage to refresh the poison. These monsters are not aggressive to players with a combat level of 129 or greater, except in the [[Wilderness]] and the area where [[Chronozon]] is found.<br />
