Pointless Top 10: Spiders in World of Warcraft 

The worst part of Mother's Milk is some good-willed druid, paladin, or shaman would cleanse poison on you as you were running back to the quest npc, not knowing they just griefed you.

Getting "mothers milk" is quite the Blizzard quest alright

The spider model in the thumbnail is the spider I use in game on my hunter, I’ve had him for 12 years, I hope he’s top 5

Fun fact about Terrokarantula, during the MoP beta, hunter pets would revert to their original, often times massive sizes. It, along with devilsaurs were some of the biggest and most obnoxious pets to have following you around

Honourable mention to Hadranox. The most skipped dungeon boss

I love it when the thing I chose for #1 is actually #1 for Crendor too, I feel so understood. That thing spooked me, when I was just strolling around minding my business.

I'm a little surprised Mr. Sunflower isn't on the list. He's part of one of the Zaralek Cavern digs, and I know they're pretty whatever in regards to content to do, but even so. Mr. Sunflower is a horrifyingly peaceful spider that's forcefully bound several people (casual adventurers) to attend his tea party so they can discuss why they're so aggressive and feel the need to kill and steal from so many creatures they encounter. He just wants people to stop killing random creatures through their quests. When you get there, you don't act hostile enough for him to bind you, but he needs your help to identify Ralph, because Ralph has progressed well enough to realise the error of his ways and is graduating today. Problem is everyone webbed up looks exactly the same, so you have to talk to them without releasing them and listen to what they say deduce who Ralph is and have Mr. Sunflower let him free. As an arachnophobe, everything about that scenario is beyond horrifying.

Man, I forgot we used to have to actually carry out pets around if we wanted to summon them. Definitely one of the best changes they made down the road with adding the pet collection and being able to just summon whatever you wanted without having to run to a bank lol

My favorite WoW spider is currently Mr. Sunflower, who is a small nerubian looking spider creature you can find holding an intervention for different violent criminals during a Sniffenseek. He offers you tea and asks that you help him figure out which of his "guests" is rehabilitated and ready to return to the real world. He's just a cool little guy, I really like him.

Also the Spider Loa Shadra, RIP. Her high priestess Yazma was loyal to Zul, took her powers and became a spider monster and the boss of Atal'Dazar dungeon.

Some of my favorite spiders include the rare ones that would appear at the Molten Front and were super difficult to tame. Especially the purple one, Deth’tilac

I never played WoW and yet i watch these videos

Besseleth was my first spider pet on my first hunter, thinking she'd be bigger or stronger lol, but she's always been a favorite of mine due to that.

Surprised the Black Recluse from Twilight Highlands wasn’t included. One of the great jump scares in WOW. Also Hadronox in Azjol-Nerub was a fav of mine. Very creepy when it would emerge from the tunnels.

I agree with number 1 I was flying around Terokkar in Classic and all of a sudden this huge ass spider appears right in my face.. I knew there was a bigger spider there.. i just don't remembering it being THAT BIG.. It made me jump a little and I'm not usually afraid of spiders.

Mother Fang deserves an honorable mention. I had an alt parked by her spawn for months killing her a few times a day trying to get the brood mother carapace. I'm glad to finally see the light of day again now that I have the drop, but I do pop in to visit her whenever i'm passing by because I miss her sometimes lol.

honestly i love the green tarantulas, i just think they are so cute and fuzzy, a very special type of dog to me

Number one gave me nightmares as a kid, I was just playing around, kiting mobs and suddenly died to that huge ass spider. I was so afraid of that place that I never finished the quest I was doing there and noped out LMAO

Amazing as always. Crendor I have an ambitious suggestion: Top 10 Zone Soundtracks. Harder to show visually I guess, but it’d be great to see your genius take on where the Grizzly Hills music ranks.

Mother's milk. An old red hot chili peppers reference... that 2nd tarantula looms like a brachypelma or fire leg.

All of my tarantulas enjoyed this video. It's their favorit Pointless Top 10.

Shoutout to Sennarth and her... noise... when she pulls you with her web. The echoes were so good.

Spiders have always been my favorite pets, especially since the molten front and recently new expansions have added amazing new spiders

I have to say, I really don't like spiders but I do like the top 10 pointless spiders!!

I recommended this months ago and you said you would do it! Thank you!

Good video Crendor, keep up the good work.

Was thinking of the ones where you do the fire lands dailies. Can't remember the name of the area, but there was a lot of spiders and some were yellow and some were like 2 different blues. Hunters would always tame these in Cataclysim

9:33 why is nobody talking about how the ice spiders have their silk being sucked up into their butt? Who was the animator responsible for their webbing? I need answers.

im glad the fjord spiders made the list, thats one of my favorite creepy places

Dang, just watched Hotel Hell for the first time yesterday so that was an unexpected reference. Was the old witchy lady with the inn who crapped on her own floor.

Even if you have no arachnophobia, I equate still getting spooked by #1 on this list to megalophobia. You simply do not expect to turn around and suddenly be looking at something so large that it feels out of place. While playing space games, I always get spooked when I turn my ship around - and suddenly there is just a massive planet or whatever there, as if it had snuck up on me. Nobody likes overwhelming surprises like that, and in the same way you would not expect to run into the mother of all spiders while exploring an otherwise relatively calm area. What adds to it is the fact that #1, at least as far as I recall, does not spawn/become visible until you are very close to it. Suddenly, this massive beast just materializes out of thin air.

oscillating may have been the word you were looking for when describing the spiders in the air, but I think gyrating is far funnier and what we should use instead for objects moving slightly within a fixed point.

WoW really does have the coolest looking spiders. I remember having a few as pets on my Worgen hunter, because they just look so awesome.

My number #1 would be the Starting Pet you got as an Undead Hunter in cataclysm

Hadronox first spider that came to mind for me

One of my other favorite spiders is Sennarth from Vault of the Incarnates. Really fun raid fight where you’re following her up her icy tower while everyone is running around like headless chickens

3:20 The old tarantula models had that second set of fangs that are more like pincery bits from an insect, the change to the "Correct" fuzzy pedipalps instead makes them less cool and alien. Also the old colors were brighter and being jagged made them seem bristlier.

My favorite green tarantula spider is definitely the hillsbrad foothill ones.

had no idea that last one existed lol. guess i’ve skipped terrokar a few too many times. thanks for the vid:)

Is Top 10 Oozes/NPCs in oozes coming up, wowcrendor? ;)

I like how classes used to feel like different experiences. I agree that it all feels the same

So pleased by your choice for #1

Extra spooky top 10 during october!

I remember when I was but a wee lad playing my second or third day of wow on my brand spanking new draenei hunter and I saw the giant freaking spiders in Bloodmyst Isle and I was so excited thinking I'd get this awesome enormous spider guy so I tamed it...and it shrunk. I think I still have that little guy on that same character on my parents' account but man I still remember how disappointing it was that it didn't keep its size.

yet another absolute banger

When I used to raid regularly during Wrath, my guild's top mage was afraid of spiders. In the Arachnid Wing of Naxx, he would put one of the healers on follow and go AFK.

When I was young, my older sister would call for me to kill a spider if one showed up in her bedroom. She has never even *seen* World of Warcraft on a PC, but I know the spider animations in WoW are *so good* they would creep her out. I was sure of this too way back in 2005.

If I were to make a list, I would definitely add that spider from the night elf starting zone cave. It's the first non-generic mob you kill as a night elf. And also, and this is very niche, I would include that spider in a cave in Magmoth, Borean Tundra who almost ended Kripp' ironman run at level 79/80, just because that was one of my personal favorite moments in WoW :D

they changed it too, but the hinterlands had also this giant spider that could only be summoned through a quest to get the zul'farrak mallet. You needed a group to kill it and it was the first big \\oh crap\\ moment i had in WoW

my top spiders would be the firelands ones hunters were able to tame. I remember actually getting help in taming one. All my spiders are the firelands rare ones and I love em

@4:01 dude theres like ten thousand billion LoTR references in wow 😅

Remember kids: spiders are a vital predator and prey present in the vast majority of ecosystems. Even the top 10 pointless spiders are good guys/gals. Spider fun fact: sometimes jumping spiders will sleep at the end of a dangling silk thread. They can either climb the thread or drop from it if something gets too close from either end. They can also tell the difference between wind and a living animal's movement.

I love spiders. My hunter has literally every color and model of spider in game. 🕷️

Thanks Crendor, now I'll never sleep again.

Pointy Top 10 lists when??

You forgot Shadra! :D In Zuldazar, the Spider-Loa!

Dude! Shadra in Hinterlands

you forgot naraxis witch is a rare spider on a cave on dusckwood and lady Sathrah witch is a mini boss spider on teldrasil northen area near the river also you forget the big elite spider witch is a horde quest on hinterlands ,that spider also pulled to ironforge many times by trollers

fun fact: in warcraft 1 a warlock could get a spell that summoned 4 gaint spiders too fight for you! while human wizards could summon 4 scorpions (with the same colours sceme as those scorpions from the southpark episode)

Wow super cool

There are also spiders that can go fishing. Surprisingly they're called fishing spiders. (they're cool as hell)

No Shadra? Sadge, she's awesome.

My mom (who was the one who got me into WoW) once told me that a coworker showed her a picture of a spider on their phone while they were both on their lunch break. The coworker, assuming the spider was real, was all like "I would not want to meet this spider" and "I bet it could kill me." Mom was like "that spider is from a video game." It was a picture of Maexenna's model.

I expected Shadra on this list

Do a top ten wishlist on playble races and put Gilblin in top 3.

Even in WarCraft: Orcs and Humans, the orc warlocks summoned spiders, whereas the human conjurers summoned scorpions.

If you haven't, please make a pointless top ten of treasure chests!

Shout out to that random spider that killed me in my classic iron man

Props for saying fjord correctly

Spiders are my favourite type of insects

I feel like the animals allows everyone to get into the videos more. I haven’t played in years and don’t get every reference

Could the talador spiders be infused with light/nature magics to cure the victims or purify the demons?

I'm surprised Hadronox didn't make the list

You know. … I should go read the dungeon journals on the old dungeons

Came here for the green tarantula spiders. 🕷️

are you going to return to bb2 at some point?

What about the Ghostspiders in Maldraxxus? :(

omg mother smolder web that damn quest and her me and a friend had no clue what was going on we just went in there one day in wrath and yeah we had no clue what was going on with the debuff, we went back to dalaran and were just super confused and noone seemed to know what the heck was going on, the debuff didnt start doing anything till we left, trade chat and general were freaking out for a good hour a GM had to turn up and fix things because even they had no clue was hillarious, and no the debuff couldnt be removed back then xD ah also we had removed all quests we got in the dungon before we left sooo yeah we think removign the quest cause the issue and the buff not going away also we couldnt re-obtain the quest after we removed it, still dotn know why the debuff didnt do anything till after we left the instance xD

good thing is, if you're deathly afraid of spiders, you're probably not watching this

I'm a spider lover surrounded by spiderphobes, ty for the lovely pro spider content 🕷❤

just in time for sp00ktober ^^

🕷🕸🕷

No Spider-elvens from Suramar? Rly?

Am I blind or is there no Pointless Top 10 Dragons?? And if there isn't, WHY?

Dude I'm so tired rn that halfway through the list I legitimately thought to myself "wait these are all spiders!" .... well yeah dumbass me, it's pointless top ten spiders?? Anyways, excellently pointless video, Mr. Crendor

Yep, being the spider loa is simply not enough to make the cut on a pointless top ten about wow spider, wowcrendor is just that brutal, poor Shadra.

I couldn't show my arachanphobic friend this list rofl

If your not poor bloodfang widow is the best and should be number 1 cause you can actually ride a spider.

I was about to say, if Terrokar forest spider is not number 1 iam done with this channel, but you didn't dissapoint

Do a random murloc one with elwynn forest classic movs ;)

but... Lady Sathrah...

Shoulda just called this the NOPE episode. 😂

Sorry but this might be the one Pointless Top 10 I simply do not watch. I'm not comfortable with spiders, especially in light of recent events (they been crawling in through my window while I sleep lately)

Number nine killed me on a hard-core character. The only reason I remember it so vividly was because I was suffering from c19 at the time.

The video was good, i just disliked it because i have arachnofobia, but other than that, nice video bro XD

Eye core?, not ichor? as in ik ore? how do you pronounce these words Comment section?

generic creatures anybody knows a named and feared MURLOC? no right? you fear their numbers... theyr grkblbkblblblbl and their zealous to make.you.fall!!!

gg

Nope
