The Spider is a creature type in Dungeon Keeper.
General Information[]
| "A weak creature who sometimes goes to the Prison and freeze prisoners for fun. Spiders detest the Flies and fight them if provoked or stationed in the same Lair." |
| — Dungeon Keeper Manual |
Among the Fly, Beetle, and the Spider, Spiders are the strongest bug that a Keeper can attract. Spiders with some experience levels on them can snare opponents with Slow or Freeze. They are a key component for sacrifices along with the other "insect" creatures. They are natural enemies of Flies, and will kill them if sharing the same Lair.
Portrait of the Spider
Unless there is a Prison with prisoners inside to occupy their attention, Spiders will train. Beyond the first couple of levels gained, this becomes a considerable financial drain. Spiders are terrible at training and exact a higher expense in it than they deserve.

Notes[]
- ↑ This is an Easter Egg. The Spider is a random level and comes through the Portal rather than the Temple pool. Does not work if you already have four or more Spiders. Exactly four Imps and exactly four gold piles need to be sacrificed throughout the level. Only Chickens need to be sacrificed if you've already done this sacrifice. Having sacrificed more Imps, e.g. to lower the cost of Create Imp renders this recipe inoperable.
