I gotta say, I do like the idea of it not killing you at zero. I don't know. I liked it. I mean, I get the problem of it, but to me, what it does is when...

There can be a stable...

prisoner that's bound up in its in webs to be eaten later and we know that it's there but it's going to be sick even if you heal it right like to me these are things that can be interesting and if you don't like that well you use a different monster because in fact 2024 and 2014 both give you lots of spiders so you don't need to you know it's not like it's the only spider out there yep
