The Tarantula is a large, hairy spider, sharing many qualities to its smaller relative. As a typical arachnid, it has eight legs and eight eyes. they possess venomous (deadly to insects and mice, next to harmless to humans) fangs, and "feelers", pedipalps, on either side of these. To tell a tarantula (as well as trapdoors 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.
