Black widow spiders are dark-colored variants of spider capable of shooting webs, serving as obstacles and then as mounts in Minecraft Mini-Series.
Appearance
The Black Widow Spider looks like a normal spider, but has 3 yellow eyes on its face, the rest on the top of its head, a red symbol on its abdomen, and blue pedipalps.
Behavior
Black Widow spiders are usually hostile to humans, and attack them by jumping on walls and shooting webs; however, Durango was able to tame them, although this was never explained in the series.
Power and Abilities
Black Widow Spider, unlike their counterparts from the original game, can jump and have a wall-climbing animation similar to spiders from Minecraft: Story Mode. Also, the Black Widow Spider can shoot webs and can be ridden.
