"Welcome to the team."
Arthur smiled as he watched the two spiders in front of him.
The queen was on the chubby side, her swollen abdomen glistening with iridescent scales. Multiple piercing blue eyes studied Arthur with unnerving intelligence, set in a face framed by clicking mandibles.
Unlike the queen, the commander was lean and built for speed, with a darker, almost metallic carapace.
Arthur could have checked Formicia's status window, but he decided to learn directly from his summons this time around.
"Formicia, tell me about your abilities."
The spider queen's mandibles clicked as her thoughts filtered into Arthur's mind.
'I have three abilities, master.'
Neko remained fast asleep in Arthur's pocket, her soft purring a gentle vibration against his chest.
'First, Brood Creation. I can create fifteen children.'
Arthur nodded, expecting as much from the kill notifications that had appeared before.
'One at the Epic rank.'
Arthur's eyebrows rose.
