Vink SpiderA Vink Spider is a giant spider that is found in the forests of Kaymore, a planet in the Kaymore system. Vinks like most web-spinning spiders they have eight legs, eight eyes, a bulbous abdomen and thin sleek legs. They are usually black or dark brown in colouration and have no other distinguishing marks. Vinks have a large pair of fangs, which can inject a lethal dose of venom into its victims. The transparent silk produced by a Vink is approximately 5mm in diameter and is incredibly strong and sticky. Their webs are usually between one and three meters in diameter and can be found at ground level and up in the trees. Like most other web spinners a Vink generally waits for its prey to become ensnared in its web before attacking. Although, there have been a few reports of Vinks attacking people sleeping in the forests of Kaymore. Thankfully the antidote for their Venom is available on Kaymore. A Vink will eat just about anything, although their
usual prey on Jols (large rodents) and Yutta birds. Vinks mate once a
year and can have up to ten offspring. A Vink's expected life span is
about two years, although a few do live for three years.
