Black Widow

Description
Black Widows are spiders of the Underworld. They are the jewel of the ranger pet collection. Even though these creatures posses no known advantages over other pets, they are the ultimate mantle piece as they show that their owner has been to the Underworld and tamed one of its creatures: like Fissure Armor and Green Weapon drops, they are something of a mark of prestige.

Black Widows come in all three final evolutions, Hearty, Elder, and Dire. Since they are already at level 20 and thus cannot be trained for a new evolution, a pet of the desired evolution must be sought out and tamed. The Widow inflicts piercing damage.

Black Widows spawn in the Underworld next to a reaper after the quest for that reaper has been fulfilled. The easiest reaper to free and to perform the quest for is the Reaper of the Forgotten Vale and his quest is "Wrathful Spirits."

It should be noted that Moss Spiders (found in Pre-Searing Ascalon near the Barradin Estate and Melandru's Shrine) are not the same as Black Widows, despite being in green text, and cannot, therefore, be charmed.
