Spiderling swarm

From WoWWiki

This article or section contains lore taken from the Warcraft RPG books.

Nerubian spiderlings are young and voracious nerubians. While not nearly as intelligent as adult nerubians, spiderlings are still dangerous; in fact, when they gather in spiderling swarms (which they often do), they are more dangerous than nerubian workers. Adult nerubians carry their young around their lairs. Spiderling swarms are almost always attached to adults; up to around a dozen spiderlings cling to the adult’s body. Nerubians leave the spiderlings in their lair when they move to confront enemies, but foes who clash with nerubians in their tunnels may find themselves confronting a spiderling swarm. The only other way an adventurer can reasonably expect to run into a spiderling swarm is in a nerubian incubation chamber. Spiderlings follow the commands of other nerubians, particularly the adult to which they are attached. Once the nerubians have destroyed or routed all opponents, the spiderlings feed. Nerubians are spiderlings for about 3 years. Over this time, they grow from the tiny spiderlings presented here, gradually attaining the size of small adult nerubians. Like young creatures of other races, spiderlings have a limited command and understanding of their native language, Nerubian.^[1]
