Spiders are large arachnids encountered briefly in Amnesia: The Dark Descent. They were originally planned to feature as enemies Daniel would have to encounter in the Archives, but were dropped as such from the final game.[citation needed]
Passive spiders appear in the Nave, but they cannot attack and barely move, being purely for background detail.
Behavior[]
"Enemy" spiders can be added in the game with an editor, but due to their unfinished state, they cannot be killed. If they get close, spiders will leap and attack for a small amount of damage.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Spiders are roughly the size of rats, with dark legs and a bulbous pale abdomen.
Trivia[]
In the critters folder, there are three sound files named spider_die#.ogg meaning that the spiders were meant to be killable enemies, likely by attacking them with the cut Pickaxe.
Spiders appear in Penumbra: Overture, another game made by Frictional Games. Both appearances are nearly identical, although the spiders in Amnesia are slightly smaller than those from Penumbra.
