Background / History
Before becoming undead, the Spinning Fate Spider Woman followed the Nature Maiden Idy. She was captured and forcibly fused with poisonous spiders in an experiment; although she escaped the site, she later died and was revived as an undead possessing both human and spider traits 88 143.
Liu Zhi acquired her as an Undead Servant. Unlike many of his earlier servants, she possessed initial consciousness and immediately began proposing silk-based defenses, warning nets, traps, and methods to direct undead through web strands 90. Her plans soon became integral to the Underworld's fortifications, including a web-filled moat and a retractable drawbridge operated through silk ropes 94 98.
Her old faith became a crisis when Liu Zhi learned she was a Paladin. Attempting to contact the Nature Maiden through a silk prayer altar, she instead drew lightning that destroyed the altar and severed their connection. Stripped of her Paladin status, she chose to become a Druid and refocused on raising and evolving spider swarms for Liu Zhi's Underworld 144 145.
Appearance
Initially, she appeared as a woman suspended by six metallic spider legs extending from her back, wearing a long dark robe and resembling a hanged ghost rather than a conventional warrior 88 90.
After changing to Druid, her body and clothing took on plant-like traits 145.
- Six former metal spider legs became elongated, withered-vine limbs with remaining leaves.
- Her spider limbs extend from beneath her arms rather than her back and can raise her to roughly 2.5 meters tall.
- She wears a black robe woven from leaves.
- Her golden hair is tied beneath a spider-shaped druidic beast-head hat.
- Leaves, roots, flowers, mushrooms, and spider silk are woven into her headwear.
- She exhales and reabsorbs green energy while breathing.
Personality
The Spinning Fate Spider Woman is exceptionally talkative, rapidly jumping from one idea to the next and often overwhelming those around her. Liu Zhi regularly struggles to endure her explanations, while her followers have learned to extract usable orders from her rambling speech 90 456 1516.
Despite her naivety and poor awareness of social boundaries, she is inventive, diligent, and protective of the spiders she considers her children. She consistently prefers adaptable, multi-purpose designs over Liu Zhi's rigid specialization, even finding ways to add evolutionary options to troop designs under strict resource limits 776 777.
She is also resilient. Following her abandonment by the Nature Maiden, she quickly accepted the loss of her Paladin power and independently chose a new Druid path rather than remain powerless 145.
Abilities & Skills
Spider Silk Manipulation
She produces and controls silk for construction, mobility, restraint, fortification, and battlefield control.
- Releases webs capable of trapping nearby enemies through her original Cold Web ability 88.
- Developed poisonous silk that paralyzes entangled targets and prevents them from struggling free 127.
- Created large warning nets and proposed attaching silk strands to undead to coordinate their actions 90.
- Built walls, defensive web barriers, and a silk-based drawbridge mechanism for the Underworld 91 98.
- Moves through trees by spraying silk from her mouth, hooking it with her spider limbs, and sliding along the line 687.
- Her Web of Spider Swarm traps enemies, corrodes them, and weakens their defense 145 702.
Druidic Spider Command
After becoming a Druid, she gained abilities centered on empowering and directing spider-type creatures.
- Toxic Aura grants all troops within its range +1 Attack 145.
- Spider Swarm Leader grants all spider-type troops +1 Defense 145.
- Retained her accumulated knowledge of spider breeding even when her level reset under a new master 146.
- Can sustain spider eggs in a near-death state so they absorb dense Yin energy and evolve into specialized troop forms 966.
- Oversees spider mothers, egg incubation, and large-scale troop production through subordinate specialists 1519.
Alchemy and Poisons
She manages alchemical resources and incorporates poison into both her silk and troop development.
- Managed the Alchemy Hut and possessed access to alchemical formulas and potions 91 127.
- Kept many of Liu Zhi's poisons and used prepared bottles to protect herself during combat 127.
- Enhanced her webs with potent poisons and modified alchemy potions before cocooning the Queen's clone 702.
- Studied toxic alchemical liquids and mechanisms encountered in underground ruins 258.
Ecosystem Development and Spider Breeding
She specializes in developing mushroom-and-spider ecosystems into self-sustaining sources of troops and materials.
- Established a poisonous mushroom ecosystem around the Forward Base corpse and mercury mine, supporting several specialized spider varieties 172.
- Used spider webs to collect mercury more efficiently than miner zombies 172.
- Connected the Forward Base to the Underworld with silk, accelerating mercury-ore transport 205.
- Developed a larval production process that lets spider troops undergo gene-adjusted transformation into specific military forms 777.
- Added gene-chain slots to spider troops, allowing later artificial gene insertion during their final transformation 777.
- Discovered that feeding Silvering corpses to Spider Troops produces metallic exoskeletons, then developed silver plasma ammunition and silver webs 1026.
Combat
Though she prefers traps and preparation, she is a capable close-range combatant.
- Her original Melee Expert ability increases her strength while under siege 88.
- Uses her spider limbs for rapid repositioning, strikes, and anchoring herself to terrain 127 134.
- Rescued Liu Zhi from lethal mud by anchoring to a rooftop and pulling him free with silk 134.
- Countered the Queen's clone's parasitic-worm auxin with Underworld spider eggs, then trapped the clone in a poisoned corrosive web cocoon 702.
- Killed the weakened Queen's clone after it attempted a final ambush 703.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Tongue of Conflicting Information — A talking tongue worn as a necklace. It provides useful knowledge mixed with excessive irrelevant information, but can guide her through unfamiliar areas and identify enemy traits 687 702 703.
- Alchemy potions and poisons — Personal supplies used to enhance her silk and prepare for combat 127.
- Spider Battle Tank Number One — A giant spider war vehicle developed by her. It can be kept in egg form until deployed and requires one ton of flesh and blood for activation 1516.
Relationships
- Liu Zhi — Her master and the ruler of the Underworld. He tolerates her constant talking because of her strategic value, entrusts her with ecosystems and Spider Troops, and supported her decision to become a Druid 90 145 1516.
- Nature Maiden Idy / Edie — Her former goddess. The Spider Woman remained devoted to her after death, but Edie ultimately severed their connection and stripped her of Paladin power 143 144.
- Videnina — Fellow Undead Servant. Videnina first noticed the Spider Woman suppressing her power, and later urgently directed Liu Zhi to rescue her from a sky-bound eye 90 840.
- Tongue of Conflicting Information — Her conversational companion and intelligence source. Its rambling manner matches her own, allowing them to communicate more effectively than most people can with either of them 687 703.
- Spider Mother — A subordinate responsible for adjusting and incubating spider eggs, freeing the Spinning Fate Spider Woman to focus on researching troop modifications 1519.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Underworld Fortification
After joining Liu Zhi, she introduced web-based defenses, warning networks, and silk-controlled battlefield arrangements. Her potent sticky webs helped restrain the Giant Serpent, while her silk became a major component of the Underworld's wall and moat defenses 90 94 95 98.
Abandonment and Druid Transformation
Her hidden Paladin identity was exposed when she tried to contact the Nature Maiden. Edie's lightning destroyed her silk altar, severed their connection, and left her former divine power fading. She then changed profession to Druid and turned her efforts toward spider breeding and the Mushroom-Spider ecosystem 144 145.
Ecosystem and Forward Base Development
She built a thriving poisonous-mushroom and spider ecosystem around the Forward Base, organized mercury extraction through spider silk, and helped establish the Spore-Spider Web System as Liu Zhi's most advanced early Underworld ecosystem 172 185 205.
Spider Troop Research
Working with Liu Zhi's Zerg technology and souls, she helped establish three standardized troop types: Spider Infantry, Spider Cannon, and Spider Shield Guard. Although she disagreed with Liu Zhi's preference for narrow specialization, she redesigned the production process around larvae, genetic adjustment, and later evolution 775 776 777.
Zerg Plane Expedition
At Level 11, she was appointed overall commander of Liu Zhi's Spider Troops for the Zerg Plane expedition. She led more than thirty followers, brought spider eggs and modified subordinates, supplied allied players with Spider Battle Tank Number One, and planned to integrate her spider forces with local Zerg genetics 1516 1517 1519.
Trivia
- She considers silk-spinning and controlling individual silk threads an instinctive part of being a spider 90.
- She dislikes purely simple troop designs and repeatedly tries to add poison, climbing, growth, or other functions to every spider unit 776.
- Her troop designs can be highly effective: she transformed thousands of spiders into Spider Infantry and Spider Cannons within three hours during an emergency defense 966.
- Only a chatterbox like her can comfortably converse with the Tongue of Conflicting Information for extended periods 703.
