Steelspindle Spider

Physiognomy
Steelspindle Spiders are roughly what one would expect upon hearing the name; imposingly large spider-creatures, roughly the size of yak calves, with a fully grown leg span comparable to the height of a healthy male Draenei. The bite of the Steelspindle Spider is not known to be venomous; in lieu of this, the breed relies on surprise attacks and brute force to disorient, pin down and quickly eviscerate prey with its razor-sharp fangs. The size of said prey doesn't appear to be a fear factor for the Steelspindle, since, given the choice, they will act in groups to trip up and pin down larger or more threatening attackers.

Their webbing is prized for being twice as strong as equivalent cables of Titansteel when properly processed. However, their tendencies to engage in vicious in-fighting in the wild combined with Arakkoa, Horde and Alliance conflicts in the outer reaches of Terrokar Forest (their natural habitat) has dwindled the population to near-extinction.

History
When the Outpost was originally established in Draenor, then-Trade Baron Bakuzan had the brilliant idea in attempting to raise a clutch of Steelspindles in the complex's newly constructed barn area; citing the need for natural resources and profit by demand due to rarity. Due to general incompetence and vast, vast underestimation of the breed's intelligence, the clutch's locked cages were either left or forced open, and the newly-hatched brood quickly escaped into the trees of an unsuspecting Shadowmoon Valley. They made quick work of the imported stock animals, then local wildlife, choosing to remain around the Winds' holdings to pick off the sickly or weak of Bakuzan's chickens and calves - outsmarting the lesser employees of the Company to grow, eventually, to their adult mating sizes.

Current Day
Left unchecked during the Winds' horrendously failed attempt to harvest crabster from Northrend and subsequent repercussions therein, the Steelspindle brood quickly overtook the Outpost during the evacuation and temporary shutdown of the Company. The entire Outpost is now overrun with huge, angry, gnashing spiders, warding off both potential looters and squatters, and employees of the Company itself - left bemused outside its veiled gates, unwilling to enter and brave the horrors within.

A casual reminder that there is an extreme likelihood of former internal security director Ulyon Mindeater's ' experiments' left locked in the Vault; with the Steelspindles potentially gaining access, it would only add to the mounting horror of what might be found if and when the remaining Company members decide to venture within.
