Talk:Energy spider

Energy spider
Energy spiders or spice spiders were arachnids that inhabited the spice mines of Kessel. They lived in complete darkness inside the mine's caves spinning webs made of glitterstim, a rare kind of spice. The spiders would shoot webbing from their mouths to capture prey, impale them and then quickly suck the life energy from them. They were one of the many threats faced by the spice miners, especially those who wandered too deep into the caves where the spiders lived. When Han Solo was a prisoner in Kessel, he had to go to a mission to find the creature that already ate many miners. Chewbacca, Kyp Durron,Han, one prisonguard and Boss Roke went to this mission. Only Han, Chewbacca and Kyp Durron ecaped. the others got eaten by the energy spider. Later Skynxnex got eaten by it too.

When fed ryll, the energy spiders would produce glitteryll and grow to large sizes.
