The Mirkwood Spider is the foul denizen of Mirkwood Corrupted and an enemy of the Wood-elves of Greenwood. Their first arrival to the forest once titled Greenwood (now known as Mirkwood) occurred along with the advent of the despicable "Witch Orcs of Angmar", when Sauron (also known as the Necromancer in The Hobbit) corrupted the forest. From the corruption came these evil giant spiders. These spiders are hostile to all other mobs and players who have a negative alignment with the Dol Guldur faction.
