Tunnel Spiders

The Tunnel Spiders begin using their written form of communication to begin designing more protected homes and finding ways to guard the habitat of their herd species. Intercommunication of the dens is common as new ways are found to do things and ideas prosper within the small dens. There is no competition between the dens as the world forces enough hardship to make them prosper.

The new species of creatures are feared and hunted. More traps and ambushes happen of outsider species. the Tunnel Spiders collect the advanced technology to try to turn it to their own ends.

After discovering that some of their herding species enjoyed eating fungus off the walls of the pens that they were kept in the Tunnel spiders begin creating huge underground fungus farms to feed their herds in times of danger when the herds cannot go above ground. The herds are also a source of many items for the tunnel spiders, in the form of bone and leather items.

The intruders also begin forcing the Tunnels Spiders to begin digging deeper in the earth to build their dens.

These large brownish arachnid like creatures have 2 large mantis like claws at the front and run at a high speed. Packs of these beast have been known to take down prey much larger than them selves.

This eight limbed hunter is communal and digs large familial burrows with many opening. Communicating with a mix of chitterings and phermones and written words, they are largely a matriarchal society. Hunting packs will hunt and bring food back to the den for the young, which are normally protected by 1/4 of the population. They herd and care for large amounts of docile/semidocile herbivorous species.
