Skin Spiders, sometimes called "Flesh Insects" are hostile carnivores found in the Spider Plains and Shun. Their attacks deal very high cutting damage. The Skin Spider's health stats are greater than those of the Blood Spider. Skin Spiders—like other spiders—have high bleeding resistance and will wake up quickly should they be knocked out.
Polearms (except for the Staff) offer a 25–50% damage bonus against animals so it can be extremely useful when fighting Skin Spiders. The Desert Sabre provides a 100% damage bonus against Skin Spiders.
Instead of consuming the limbs of a downed individual The Skin Spider will drain the prey's hunger. This rapidly depletes the prey's hunger level, leading to a Strength penalty. This will severely hinder the prey's movement speed, making it more difficult to escape.

Damage Calculations[]
These values are for when striking a target with 0% damage resistance. Animals can have one of three qualities for their "weapon". (Moving their position in a squad, saving and then reloading can change to another quality of the weapon) The 23 in the cut calculation is from the minimum cut damage (13) combined with 10 piercing damage which Skin Spiders have.
Variant 1
Cut = 23 + 0.8774025 (Martial Arts + Dex)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0039) + Strength (0.0117)
Variant 2
Cut = 23 + 0.89232 (Martial Arts + Dex)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0052) + Strength (0.0156)
Variant 3
Cut = 23 + 0.9072375 (Martial Arts + Dex)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0065) + Strength (0.0195)
