Giant Longlegs

Longlegs

Source Pathfinder #200: Seven Dooms for Sandpoint pg. 192
While smaller specimens of these unsettling-looking arachnids (known regionally by names like harvesters, tickle spiders, or daddy longlegs) are harmless, their larger cousins, known simply as longlegs, are anything but.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Longlegs Species

Beyond the two common types presented here, many other variants of longlegs can be found throughout Golarion, with the exception of its arctic regions, where longlegs don't thrive. They often live on the periphery of cities, lurking in sewers or ruins where the hunting is good. Swarms of sewer longlegs are particularly dangerous and infest the undercities of many Taldan settlements, while to the west in Cheliax, the much-larger executor longlegs prefer to live among the rooflines of slums where Thrune's rule has been particularly horrific. Among the largest of all longlegs, though, is the dreaded (and thankfully rare) treeleg harvester of the Mwangi Expanse.
