Creepy spider!

Thermite

You could also use a highly concentrated alkali as well.... or considering it's in water (and would probably have a large portion of water in/on its skin an alkali metal/alkaline earth metal would be good for burning it and possibly partially exploding it as well...

I vote for a lithium-tipped bullet fired from an underwater gun so that it catches fire as soon as it leaves the barrel and will do maximum damage upon entering the beastie

GOOD SHOW!

That is beyond awesome.
Man, if I was arachnophobic I would have to beat you with an old shoe. But since I am not, kudos to you.

That thought lends itself to what kind of masochist comes into these threads that just happens to be skeered of the 8 legged abominations of nature.

It's been a little while, so here's more.

It's December. I think these spiders need some photoshopped Santa hats.

Nobody's posted screenshots yet:

Deadly Creatures, due for release this month.

The elbow squid looks more like a T4 bacteriophage than a facehugger to me.

A brawler, where you play as a scorpion or a tarantula?

I... I uh... no words.

This thread was reasonable tolerable until page 11 and I'm officially done! I'd love to give credit but the pics are too horrifying for me to scroll slow enough to read the goddjer names. Well done.

*starts building orbital nuke launcher*

This thread just keeps getting more awesome.

93, you need help with that orbital station?

Reminds me of the Nuka-lurks from Fallout 3.

Those are MIRE-Lurks, NOOB.

First class material! Keep em coming, guys!

As a side note, we've been shopping for a pet for my kid. He wanted a python, and I was trying to coax him into getting a big freaky spider, or at least a couple of geckos if he was so determined on getting a reptile.

I don't like snakes. Although they're relatively easy to care for, they take too much space and live for way too long -- the kid will go to a college in a few years, and what do we with the snake then? (the solution that he proposed was to slip it loose into the sewers)...

In the end, though, there was no spider for me. We left the store with a nice little Ball Python. Not all is lost though. I'm hoping that as our younger kid grows up, I'll still have an opportunity to get us a nice fuzzy spider in an aquarium...

Out of interest, what else would you burn it with?

Depends how creative I'm allowed to be with interpretation of the word 'burn'.

Off the top of my head, I'd say acid, plasma, lava, microwaves and if you're feeling open-minded, liquid nitrogen. That... thing might require a combination of the above.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot the most obvious one given the context - a nuke.

It's the only way to be sure.

A better solution yet: feed it to Pharacon.

Someone needs to play some more Fallout 3. There are Nuka-Lurks... NOOB.

Not spiders, but this is a pretty appropriate thread for it.

Yea, I do. There's only so much time in a day.

Fallout Wikia[/url]]NukaLurks are a type of Mirelurk and are completely identical in shape and size (more so to the Mirelurk Hunter, as they both have the same vestigial limbs on their fronts), but are differently colored - they appear to be dark blue with glowing blue features. It would be ideal to assume that this coloration is due to the combination of the radiation and the isotope used to color Nuka-Cola Quantum. The NukaLurk Meat boosts AP, is more radioactive than regular Mirelurk Meat, and has a larger health boost than regular mirelurk meat. Although, slightly harder to defeat than regular lurks (as with the hunters), the NukaLurk population is very insignificant compared to other creatures and other Mirelurks so they are not a huge problem, also their meat, having bigger advantages than regular Lurk meat, can be sold at a higher price, or consumed for bigger HP and AP boosts.

For shame! This thread has sat too quiet for too long. Behold, the Madagascar Assassin Spider!

You guys are mean.

NSMike, I'm having trouble parsing that image into a spider. Spiders don't have necks.

OR DO THEY GET THEM LATER ON IN FALLOUT 3!?

Jerks. Turning my noob-calling against me.

It's an adventure game but the vids make it look like a brawler. Atleast, that's my impression from the dev diary.

That spider looks like a bird.

The door on the left is the bedroom door. The door on the right is to the bathroom. Half-naked, half-asleep humans walked under this spider every day for a month.

[...] eventually my wife asked me to move her before she laid eggs right over the bathroom door.

I swept away her web and she moved that night, and we haven’t seen her since. Chances are she’s still in the house somewhere, and she’ll have laid her eggsac by now. But that’s fine. These gals are death on crickets and earwigs, and the only reason I moved her out was because the prospect of stepping out of the shower to find myself covered in nothing but a towel and a layer of baby spiders really did not appeal.

Spiders are our friend!
Then if they ever turn on you, fire will be your friend!
