Overview
Arachtellas are Level 20, aggressive mobs on Potterworld. They currently reside far within the Deep Forest near Hogsworth. Arachtellas can deal quite a bit of damage if there are multiple of them. To better combat them, gear and dexterity are needed in order to survive. They will be encountered in the following quests: The Arachnid Lair, Build-A-Plush Toyshop, A Feathered Friend, The Dementare’s Kiss, and The Chamber of Mysteries. Their exclusive mob drop is only required in one of these quests. However, all can be used for professions.
Arachtellas are carnivorous giant magical spiders covered with thick, black hair. Canonically, Arachtellas have eight black eyes (or white eyes, if they are blind). In Potterworld, the creature models have emerald green eyes. This mob, moreover, has eight legs with a pair of pincers and varies in size. To date, the largest recorded Arachtella, named Arachirus, measures around 4.6 metres in leg span.
Behaviour & Defence
Arachtellas are a naturally-fast, aggressive mob. Upon nearing their habitat, they will begin to spawn and immediately attack a player due to their aggressive behaviour and carnivorous instincts.
When encountering this mob, note that its pair of pincers click when it is excited or annoyed, and take caution of its toxic venom, which is capable of killing a human in a matter of hours. In addition, Arachtellas are capable of human speech. This means that they are capable of socialising and forming bonds with humans, although rarely, as they usually feed on human flesh. Arachtellas tend to be cannibalistic as well and eat their own species after their passing.
Arachtellas have a total of 295 HP each. Their basic melee attack deals 59 damage and they have two special abilities known as dash and AOE (area of effect) web. After being hit with a damage spell, an Arachtella may choose to either dash straight towards the player with a leap, or create an area of damage that the player would need to avoid. If the player is hit by the Arachtella’s dash, an extra 111 damage is dealt. If the player gets hit by the area of damage, then 111 damage is dealt with a Slowness III effect added for a duration of 4 seconds. To best counter this mob, it is best to have the Arachnipello spell at hand.
Habitat
Initially, this species was bred by magicals long ago to guard houses and treasure. However, in the late 18th century, Arachtellas started to consume humans. Since then, they have been abandoned and isolated from humans. Now, they are usually found in dark and damp places such as thick woods, jungles, or rainforests in colonies of hundreds of their species. In Potterworld, Arachtellas can be found crawling around far within the Deep Forest, which is west of the Grounds Keeper’s Hut and Hogsworth. Their spawn area resides in a Roofed Biome containing a clearing of podzol dirt, towering spruce and oak trees littered with cobwebs, and a stone cavern featuring the skeletal remains of their victims. Mainly Lunaplum Lvl. 20 nodes can be found here, along with the occasional Dittany Lvl. 20 and Nightshade Lvl. 20 nodes, and rare Wormwood Lvl. 20 nodes.
Defeat
Despite being a Level 20 mob, Arachtellas have a rare chance of dropping Lvl 21-30 Gear Pieces. Additionally, the mob drops exclusive Arachtella drops. These include Arachtella Blood, Arachtella Eye, and Arachtella Silk, which can be used in the following profession items: Charming Fizz Cakes III, White Cocoacursed Tea III, Transformation Tonic III, and Charming Concoction III.
