Poison spiders are a monster found in the Escape Caves. Along with grizzly bears, they are intended to deter player killers from world switching whilst inside the Escape Caves, as they will never stop attacking and will pursue players until they leave the caves.

Unlike other poison spiders, these spiders attack with typeless ranged. Protection prayers will not prevent or reduce their damage. Increasing your ranged defence is the only way to reduce the damage you receive.
