Combat:
Tree spiders are very aggressive and will hunt the land around the trees, eating smaller mammals. They catch with their legs, roll on their back, and penetrate the flesh of the meal with long pinchers located at their mouth. They inject a poison into the blood stream, which is quickly distributed through the victim to paralyze and contract their muscles. The meals are webbed and strung up for later use.

Habitat/Society:
Most tree spiders are males, who happen to be the ones that lay the eggs of their spawn. The females are fewer in numbers, but live longer then the males, whose sole purpose is to reproduce with them five times a year. The males do all the hunting as well, and lay their eggs in a live victim which is usually strung up in the tree the spider inhabits, by a long rope-like web made by the females. There are usually colonies of 3 spiders per trees, depending on the size of the tree. They will hollow it out and build mudlike burrows inside of it.
