I find it actually kind of strange that the black hunters do not spread fear. Actually, I can't imagine something that is more terrifying than a huge hairy spider.

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. A nation consisting entirely of kangroo-legged bipedal leeches and lampreys would be horrifying, especially if they could latch-on to enemy soldiers's backs, drill into their spinal columns with a toothed tongue, and puppet the host's body while its mind is still conscious by directly driving the spinal nerve axons, forcing them to fight their friends while screaming "Get it off me! It's sucking me dry!!"
Spiders are scary the way space ameobas or carnies are scary. Kangaroo-leeches, especially undead ones, are utterly terrifying - like multivariable calculus final exams.
