Appearance: black iron spiders with bell-shaped abdomens, silver hair along the legs, rune-scratched fangs, and web strands that look like drawn wire under lantern light.

Threat tier: common in abandoned shafts, elite in alarm halls, and regional if a nest controls the bell system of a deep hold.

Habitat: Khundravan alarm shafts, old mine lifts, abandoned smelter vents, collapsed signal tunnels, and places where bells were silenced after embarrassing disasters.

Behavior: they ring false alarms to herd miners, separate advocates from guards, and lure rescue crews into webbed side tunnels. They prefer people trained to obey emergency bells.
