While you keep your eyes on the macro-fauna, your senses are blind to the true threat. You should have seen the wolves as a portent of your arch-enemy, Trevorina the wolf spider. Her bite tears into your pack, wrenching you from your feet, and you struggle to undo the straps before she gets her fangs into your flesh.
You crash to the ground as Trevorina rears up, shaking her head side to side in an effort to be free of your entangling baggage. That buys you enough time to whip out your weapon, and run toward the spider's blind(er) side, to get every advantage you can.
As you do, you notice the great abdomen of the spider raised high from the ground, larger than before with a mass of webbed spherical objects.
In your recent fact-finding mission where you discovered that the female is larger than the male, one of the other things you learned was that they carry their eggs on their back. So Trevorina is currently hosting a pile of her unhatched babies.
The thought of a horde of similar monsters stalking you is horrifying, but you also have the naughty thought that perhaps, if you got one of those eggs, you could hatch and raise your own spider as a pet and steed. Certainly the sort of thing worth investigating as a tiny survivalist.
You could try to steal an egg, or you could maybe attack them, hoping that the desire to protect her children will force the beast to flee.
Then again, the wolves are nearby, and if you lure Trevorina toward them, maybe she'll get killed by one of the macro-fauna.
