Talk:Moss Spider

There are two types of moss spiders in pre-searing. In Regent Valley they're aggressive and attack anyone on sight. In Green Hills they're passive until attacked. But I don't remember being attacked immediately as a Ranger. I don't have a Ranger to test this out, though, so I'm hesitant to update that part of the description. --Nkuvu December 14, 2005
 * Every time I've been anywhere in pre-sear with a R/* or */R character all the moss spiders have attacked me on sight. But with non-ranger characters, I've never been attacked by them.  This may have changed since I put that info in there.  If so, it should be changed in the article.  --Rainith 11:19, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Nkuvu is correct. I am in Green Hills right now and they are very passive.  I'm a R/N.  Haven't been to Regent Valley yet but if they are hostile there I will fix the description. | Chuiu 05:09, 6 March 2006 (CST)
 * I had three members of my guild test the spiders in the Regent Valley area, and they are aggressive, no matter your profession. This was tested with a Mo/Ne, a Mesmer (no secondary), and an Ele. In Green Hills County, I found a friendly Ranger who let me drag him outside to stand next a moss spider. Peaceful as a peach (though the ranger had to think I was insane.)- Katscratched 17:58, 4 September 2006 (CDT)

Species
What's the deal with these? I wonder if they are spiders or animals, according to game mechanics. Unfortunatly we can't check with EoE in pre-searing. Are there Moss Spiders or other small spiders anywhere in post-searing? The only one I can think of is Carlotta. Does she turn hostile when harmed with AoE damage? -- 10:29, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * She turns red, but you can throw everything at her and she'll carry on walking 03:55, 13 February 2006 (CST)

The real question would be: Is Carlotta a moss spider? If so, then these guys are animals.--68.192.188.142 18:30, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

Profession
I'm in pre, and on the health bar it says R2 Moss Spider. So there's the profession. &mdash; Blastedt(Talk) 23:03, 24 December 2006 (CST)


 * Good, why don't you go check on the Rabbit also? :) 24.6.147.36 01:49, 25 December 2006 (CST)

Monument statue
This article states that there is no specific statue in the Hall of Monuments for the Moss Spider. Yet the Animal Companion article has Moss Spider written in bold (meaning it gets its own statue). Which one is correct?


 * Animal Companion is for any pet at lv20. --- [[Image:VipermagiSig.JPG|Ohaider!]] -- (contribs) &emsp;(talk)  20:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Animal Companion seems to be mistaken. I've heard from people who already have the Moss Spider that they did not get a unique statue.  Only the Black Widow, Black Moa, and Imperial Phoenix (endgame factions) get their own statues.  All the rest give a generic one with the bear.  However, since I don't have the Moss Spider myself yet, I cannot confirm this for sure, and can only repeat rumors.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 20:42, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If you look ath the history, in the summary of my edit, i added moss spider. I was guessing it would get its own statue because it was presitge. I'll remove the bold. 76.188.100.220 22:13, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying that. Unfortunately, Anet is not one to be accused of logical thinking a lot of the time, so guessing like this can often work against you.  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 04:34, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have lvl 20 Moss Spider ... it does not get it's own statue in the Hall of Monuments. :( Skie M 10:11, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

ranged attack?
do the tameable ones have a ranged attack? that would be mad!Midgetchinese 09:37, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Why would Anet invent a whole new mechanic for that? And how do you imagine all the "bite" skills working at range?  And extendable internal tongue-mouth thingy, like the Aliens had?  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.png]] 19:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
