| - A phase spider was a magical beast akin to a predacious version of the ethereal filcher. Phase spiders were monstrous arachnid-kin that dwelt within the Ethereal Plane. They made quick forays into the natural world to snatch an unlucky creature to feed upon. Those stolen by phase spiders were never seen again and were regarded as unsolved disappearances.
- Phase spiders are natives of the Ethereal Plane but most often hunt on the Material Plane, phasing between the two to ambush their prey and eliminate them with a deadly poison.

- Phase spiders are ethereal beings. They step across the planes of Outland to hunt the unwary. Phase spiders are a type of spider native to Outland, and make their home in the Twisting Nether. They often attack in clusters.
- The Phase Spider is one of three different high-level Spiders encountered in the original Baldur's Gate, the other two being the Wraith Spider and Sword Spider. They are one of the more interesting enemies to be found, as they exhibit some fairly deadly and unique abilities. They are fairly rare, usually only found within the depths of various forests, and are distinguishable from their brethren by way of a bright-green body and dark-green legs - pointedly different from the much more common Giant Spider.
