Spider Hatchlings is a Greenskins melee war beasts unit. Although a fraction of the size of their fully-grown sisters, newly-hatched Arachnaroks are every bit as deadly.

Spider Hatchlings can be summoned via The Arachnarok Queen's Maternal Instinct unit ability, or via a character using the Arachnarok Eggs item. They can also be recruited from Lair of the Broodmother (Stirring) in the Greenskin campaign

Description

The darkest forests of the world are the home to the Gigantic Spiders. These venomous creatures grow to an enormous size, sucking the life juices out of prey and leaving behind only skin-husks and bones. A full-grown Gigantic Spider is larger than a Troll, and its whole body is protected by chitinous armour plates. All Gigantic Spiders have a poisonous bite that is used to paralyse their prey. Only the most foolhardy would attempt to seek them out, and Forest Goblin Shamans, with their spectacular lack of common sense, fit well into that category. A gifted Shaman, touched by the Spider-god's blessings, will not be turned into a lifeless husk, but instead may be rewarded with a clutch of spiderlings. This foul brood - each spider already the size of a horse's head - can be reared and trained. When fully grown, these Gigantic Spiders are prized as revered mounts for a Goblin tribe's mightiest warriors.
