The Spike Spider is a monster in Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy.

Description

"Jumps and clings to its prey, biting away with exceptional persistence until either shaken off or well fed. Encounter one and others are sure to be close by, as they hunt in groups."

―Book of Sphinx

"Well known for dropping on their prey."

―Monster Inspector

"Perhaps the smallest member of the spider family, it is swifter than most thanks to its strong legs. The Spike Spider is a pack hunter, and in groups they will surround their prey and attack from all directions simultaneously."

―Abydos Museum

Strategy for Sphinx
