Maelstrom Spiders are giant arachnid creatures of chaos. The Maelstrom Spider was the first species of Stromlings to be created. When Baron Typhonus wanted to demonstrate the power of chaos and Imagination without rules, he used the Imagination Nexus to create the first Maelstrom Spider, the Spider Boss. The Spider Boss dragged the Baron into the Imagination Nexus, corrupting it into the Maelstrom. While the original Spider Boss has not been seen since the event that shattered Planet Crux, Free To Play promotional artwork shows a Maelstrom Spider on Crux Prime, suggesting that the Spider Boss is likely near the ruins of the Mythran Temple.
