Spiders

Frostbite Spiders are giant arachnids often found in Skyrim’s caves and ruins. They have a dangerous poison spit attack, though their bite is just as poisonous—try to keep your distance and focus on ranged attacks. Despite their name, they are not actually resistant to frost. The white variety of spiders is somewhat tougher than the red variety for each size category. Minor Treasure includes a tiny chance of: A few gold, a gem, or a ring. Solstheim Spiders are a unique species of spider that has recently been discovered on Solstheim. Prolonged exposure to certain minerals (particularly gemstones) seems to cause the ‘standard’ Albino Spider to take on new and volatile forms. When fighting these spiders, observe their coloration and prepare yourself with Fire, Frost, Shock, or Poison Resistance accordingly. The damage from the jumping and exploding variants is half physical and half elemental, so while resistance will help, it won’t mitigate the damage completely.
