Kashyyykian giant weaver

Kashyyykian weavers were giant spiders indigenous to the lower levels of Kashyyyk's forests.

Characteristics
Kashyyyk's giant weavers were fat-bodied with red pigmentation. They were known to be intelligent enough to coordinate ambushes on unsuspecting creatures, and had the tenacity to track their prey for over a kilometer. When attacking, they immobilized their victims with thick strands of web and copious amounts of poison from their upraised mandibles.

Darth Vader's secret apprentice, Starkiller, encounter several of these when journeying through Kashyyyk's jungles. He barely survived the ambush, and thereafter traveled through the upper levels of the forests.
