Imagine yourself, at the army recruiting center, with four possible assignments:

1) Front lines, against berzerk flaming spiders of Machaka.
2) Scout out the Unfettered that may be oozing around the area, devouring villages.
3) Sleep with an Illithid until you conceive a Star Child.
4) Go into the Void Gate, and, uh... pray.

Dominions isn't a pretty place. I don't like big, hairy spiders either, but... they might not be the scariest things out there. Personally I'm much more afraid of giant lampreys.

They might not be the scariest thing... but they are definitly scary. Most people fear spiders and the likes on a subconscious level. And those spiders are seldom larger than your hand. I imagine that a spider of the size of an elephant would be very scary sight, especially if it comes running for you.
