ARACHNIDS are tough creatures with a weak but Poisonous attack. Once you get to ElfLand, you'll want to make sure to always have PURE Potions on hand because of these and other Poisonous Monsters. Their high Absorb can be bypassed with upgraded Weapons or the ICE Spell.

SPIDERS have no Absorb, but enough HP to survive multiple hits. They also feature high Evade to go with their moderate-damage attack. This Monster is not Poisonous.

Of all the poisonous creatures in the Elfheim area, Tarantulas are the toughest to fight. They don't have a lot of HP, but their decent Defense ensures that you can't take them out all that quickly. They don't deal out much damage, but they are Poisonous, so they tend to waste your time. Fortunately they are little threat by the time you start seeing large groups of them in the Terra Cavern. Just keep plenty of Antidotes on hand.
