The Tarantula is a large, hairy spider, sharing qualities to its smaller relative. As an arachnid, it has eight legs. It also has eight eyes, webbing, venomous (deadly to insects and mice, next to harmless to humans) fangs, and "feelers" on either side of these. To tell a tarantula (as well as a trapdoor and other mygalomorphs) from araenomorph ("regular spiders"), look at the fangs. An araenomorph's fangs point towards each other, while a mygalomorph's points down and in. Tarantulas can be purchased in Knockturn Alley.
