Aragog, the colossal Acromantula raised in secret from an egg by Hagrid, grew into the blind patriarch of a forbidden colony deep in the forest. Exiled from the castle yet fiercely loyal to his human kin, he confronted Harry and Ron in his misty web, revealing truths of the Chamber while unleashing his ravenous brood upon them. Though his monstrous children turned savage, Aragog's tale ends as a tragic guardian, bound by old debts in the heart of danger.
Description
Aragog is a gigantic spider the size of a small elephant, his enormous body covered in thick black hair streaked with gray patches along the legs and torso. Eight milky white blind eyes cluster on his ugly, pincered head, flanked by mandibles that click rapidly. His eight long, hairy legs move with slow, deliberate menace, supporting his aged, hulking frame. A primal, ancient presence emanates from him, shrouded in the mist of his domed web.
