The giant transparent spider is an animal-type smob with two different locations, one in Tarendrelle Village, and another in the Rocky Foothills within the Spine of the World. The smob in Tarendrelle is the final step in the Southern smob chain (the mountain-dwellers' leader, Ragnor the Bandit Chief, and the giant transparent spider). The version in the Spine of the World is the first step in a herald chain for Cairhien.
Description[]
"The giant clear spider crouches here protecting her eggs.
Quivering and about to pounce, this mother spider guard her territory fiercely. Her body is nearly transparent but you can make out what looks to be internal organs in her abdomen. Drops of poison can be seen dripping from the clear fangs."

Locations[]
| Zone | Room | Qty. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rocky Foothills | Dusty Storeroom | 1 | |
| Tarendrelle at the Eldar | Hidden Cellar | 1 | Cellar of Lord Jaufre's tower |
Doors:
- Tarendrelle: cellardoor (a key carved with a grinning fox), hatch (a well-worn ornate key)
- Spine of the World: boulder, plateddoor. To open the plateddoor, place any amount of coin (even 1 copper) on the scale. The door eventually locks automatically, but you can "pull sconce" from inside to exit. You can take your coins off the scale and replace them to enter again.
Strategies[]
Although the smob itself appears to be identical, the room properties for the two locations are slightly different, leading to different options for strategies to defeat them.
Tarendrelle[]
This version of the smob loads with 6 sluggish, leathery spiders, a weak and low level (16) mob. The minions assist but do not rescue, and faceoff does not apply to this group. The room is hideable, so Backstab is a viable tactic to clear the minions as well as the smob. There are no mobol restrictions against channeling, and the temperature in Tarendrelle is frequently in a range where Ice Spikes will do maximum damage, so this smob is fairly easy to defeat with two or more channelers. Due to the high number of weak minions, area of effect weaves such as Sonic Boom or Earthquake can work to clear the minions and cause some damage to the smob, while a second channeler can focus their firepower on the smob itself. Blind or Freeze will also prevent the minions from assisting, allowing you to isolate and clear the smob. She occasionally performs an emote attack where she spits acid, but it is not a high damage attack. A traditional smob group is a good and effective tactic to clear the smob quickly. Reaching this smob will require killing the Tear dwellers' leader and Ragnor, allowing you to open the chest in the room, although the chest reportedly only loads once per reboot.
Spine of the World[]
This version of the smob loads with 6 small clear spiders, which are noticeably higher level (35) than the minions for the smob in Tarendrelle. These minions will rescue the smob, but faceoff still does not apply in this room. Also unlike Tarendrelle, this room is not hideable, so you cannot Backstab the smob or minions. Mobol restrictions make Blind hard to land, but otherwise there are no restrictions in the room. Freeze is a viable alternative to prevent the minions from assisting or rescuing. This smob similarly causes intermittent, mild emote damage. Two channelers could selectively target the smob, but due to the mobol that periodically causes the door to close and lock and the need for Fireball due to the higher temperatures in the area, a traditional smob group is probably more effective to clear this room. The smob loads a key with gold inlay in its inventory, which will open a mahogany chest in the room with gold and some items.
