Spiderworm
creatureEngineered silk-producing creatures: thigh-thick brown/black fur, disproportionately long skeletal legs, corpulent abdomens; crawl girders weaving bioSilk webs.
Spiderworms debut in Red Rising as bioengineered silk-producing creatures deployed throughout the Society's industrial and training facilities. These massive, fur-covered arachnid-like beings with elongated skeletal legs and swollen abdomens methodically crawl along girders to spin durable bioSilk webs, showcasing the Golds' mastery over genetic modification for practical infrastructure needs. Their specialized role in web-weaving remains a static element of the world's ecosystem without notable evolution or expanded appearances in later books.
