Emerald Spiders

Description

Emerald spiders are truly the green of their name. They are sometimes lighter on the bottom, especially females. They have lithe bodies and long but sturdy legs. Their face is encrusted with a random arrangement of crystalline black, purple, or amber eyes. Their powerful mandibles are as sharp as copper and very fearsome looking. Their carapace is thick and is well covered with small sharp spines.
