Oil Spiders

An Oil Spider

Oil Spiders are a subspecies of the albino spiders that live on the island of Solstheim. Oil spiders are physically similar to albino spiders but differ in that they are grey with yellow stripes and have large black eyes, much more similar to Frostbite Spiders. The only oil spiders encountered as enemies are in Fahlbtharz.

While moving, and upon death, oil spiders release a trail of flammable oil that is different in appearance than normal oil but will combust in the same manner if hit by fire. If the oil spider itself is hit by fire, it will explode, which can lead to a chain reaction if dealing with a large group. Oil spiders do not drop anything as they burst upon death.

Oil spiders can be created with the imbuing chamber device in White Ridge Barrow by placing Dwarven oil and albino spider pods in the machine (Recipe - Oil Spider).

Mind Control Spiders

A mind controlled bandit

Mind Control Spiders are not true creatures in the same sense as other spiders listed on this page. They can only be created by using the respective Spider Scroll. In appearance, they are identical to oil spiders.

As their name implies, these spiders attach to an enemy when thrown and can control the enemy to make them fight for you. When a target is being controlled by the spider, it becomes covered in a network of bright yellow webs. A few of them can be seen within White Ridge Sanctum attached to bandits who are being experimented on by the sorceress Merilar Rendas, but they disappear when the bandits are killed.

Mind Control Spiders can be created with the imbuing chamber device in White Ridge Barrow by placing soul gems and albino spider pods in the machine (Recipe - Mind Control Spider).

Notes

• There are two additional recipes for creating spiders in game data, but they are not found in the game: Recipe - Glowing Spider and Recipe - Pack Spider.
• Due to game limitations and scripting issues, these spiders do not respawn. In addition, their pods also don't respawn, except for one near a Shrine of Kynareth south of Bloodskal Barrow.
• Although spiders have souls, it is not possible to soul trap them via any means (via the spell, a Soul Trapping staff or a weapons enchanted with the effect).
• Regular, non-imbued spiders have a poison bite attack similar to that of Frostbite spiders, though vastly decreased in power, dealing only 1 poison damage per second for 2 seconds.
• Mind Control Spiders also appear in ESO.
