Spider Queen Nerscylla are special Named Variants of Nerscylla that are older and more developed than the standard species.

Habitat Range
Spider Queen Nerscylla can be found living in the Sunken Hollow, Primal Forest, and occasionally the Tower.

Ecological Niche
Spider Queen Nerscylla are very crafty and deadly predators, even more so than normal Nerscylla. They'll prey on anything that gets caught in their web like Altaroth, Bnahabra, Kelbi, and Aptonoth. This also includes Genprey, Gendrome, Jaggi, Jaggia, Conga, Congalala, Seltas, and Khezu. Sometimes they'll even feed on their own silk if prey is not available. Their favorite prey, however, is Purple Gypceros. Like their relatives, this Temnoceran likes to cloak itself with the Bird Wyvern's rubbery hide. They have to compete with other large predatory monsters like Tetsucabra, Najarala, Tigrex, Deviljho, Gravios and its Black subspecies. Despite these challenges, Spider Queen Nerscylla are very deadly and powerful in their own right.

Biological Adaptations
Spider Queen Nerscylla possess the same adaptions as their common cousins but are far more advanced. They can spray streams of silk, silk infused with poison, or a soporific liquid. They also use their silk for other purposes besides building webs; they can create web "maces", which are long threads with a single large globule at the end used for capturing prey, and large nets deployed against larger targets.

Behavior
These Temnocerans are crafty, intelligent, reclusive ambush predators that utilize many methods in catching prey. They are known to avoid pitfall traps when not in Rage Mode are immune to shock traps thanks to the rubbery Purple Gypceros skin upon their backs.
