Heteropoda maxima fidelis

Overview
Heteropoda maxima Fidelis (Gargant hunter spider) is a sub-species of the Giant huntsman spider (Heteropoda maxima). They have thick frames, a body-length of 15cm (6"), and legs spanning 90cm (3').

Abnormalities
The Gargant hunter has hair like a cat's fur, acquired muscular vocal cords, and a tongue. They have the potential to speak human languages. A Gargant hunter will mimic animal cries. Gargants possess the intellectual capacity of an average human. Maxima Fidelis silk's hydrophobic properties are for sub-aquatic environments. To aid underwater hunting, two sets of gills lie on the dorsal part of the abdomen. Twin affixed operculum on the gills only open up when the spider stops breathing from its book lungs. A major peculiarity is their lifespan. Since they are Araneomorphae, the hunters should only live around one year. However, Gargant hunters live up to 90 years in the wild, surpassing the oldest Mygalomorphae. Gargant hunters willingly choose to be servile or act as mutual companions, just as many canines do.

History
Domestication and selective breeding intelligent huntsman spiders birthed the Gargant Hunters on 05/04/2523. 23 years prior, some had attained the awareness of felines and canines, allowing them to escape. Gargant hunter spiders' habitats are nearby towns and cities. The Kingdom of Damal does not have Gargant hunters.
