The DSD2 diminutive spider droid was a variant of the more famous DSD1 dwarf spider droid used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Heavily modified and substantially smaller, as the name suggests, the quadrupedal or pentapedal droid was often employed for remote reconnaissance in addition to combat. Like its predecessor, the DSD2 was designed and created by Baktoid Armor Workshop under the direction of the Commerce Guild, who sought to capitalise on the dwarf spider droid's success by introducing a small variant that, in its simplicity, would be cheaper and in many ways more effective than the original formation. Distinguishing characteristics of the DSD2 included its size, its spider-like appearance, and its bright yellow eye.

| - The DSD2 diminutive spider droid was a variant of the more famous DSD1 dwarf spider droid used by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Heavily modified and substantially smaller, as the name suggests, the quadrupedal or pentapedal droid was often employed for remote reconnaissance in addition to combat. Like its predecessor, the DSD2 was designed and created by Baktoid Armor Workshop under the direction of the Commerce Guild, who sought to capitalise on the dwarf spider droid's success by introducing a small variant that, in its simplicity, would be cheaper and in many ways more effective than the original formation. Distinguishing characteristics of the DSD2 included its size, its spider-like appearance, and its bright yellow eye. The DSD2 first saw action on its native world of Hypori, where it was used to defend the Confederate manufacturing plants that brought it into being. After this overwhelming victory for the Separatists, the small droids' next notable engagement was on Amaltanna, where Separatist commander Edi Wedd unsuccessfully deployed them in an attempt to terminate Jedi Knight Bultar Swan. Later in the Clone Wars, the spider droids were active during the Outer Rim Sieges. Though initially assisting in the capture of Orto, which was eventually lost to the Republic, they failed to defend Felucia from a clone advance. The remaining units were shut down with the deactivation of the entire droid army. The only enduring impact the model had on galactic history was as inspiration for the tentacled Viper Imperial probe droid along with another recon droid model.
