Tarantulas are rare spawns in dry rainforest (Mexican red knee, Antilles pinktoe), wet rainforest (cobalt blue, goliath birdeater), hot desert (Chilean rose hair, western desert, green bottle blue), dry grassland (Brazilian black), and wet savanna (king baboon) biomes. They spawn alone.

While ambient, as territorial animals, attempting to pick them up will be considered as an attack and they will begin to deal damage to the player. It is recommended to use a capture cage or a slingshot net instead. While dangerous, fortunately they are slow.

Tarantulas cannot be tamed, but are still perfect for your exhibits anyways!

Tarantulas have 2 hearts (4 points) of health, can deal 2 hearts (4 points) of damage, and drop tarantula item (species dependent) upon death.

As ambient animals, they do not need specialized care.

Tarantulas can be bred with mealworms.

When killed, tarantulas drop a species specific tarantula item, and are part of several diets to feed tamed animals.

There are nine species represented in ZAWA Evolved: Antilles pinktoe tarantula, Brazilian black tarantula, Chilean rose hair tarantula, cobalt blue tarantula, goliath birdeater tarantula, green bottle blue tarantula, king baboon tarantula, Mexican red knee tarantula, and the western desert tarantula.
