Spider shamans might not be your friends; but if you can assist them against a hive, they might be willing to help.  (Spiders are not insects, although they're not always friendly in the mythology.)

Ok. Now for something different. Since the times Ive read Anansi Boys from Neil Gaiman, I have really twisted feelings about Spiders in mythology. For those unaware, try Anansi, or Akan, in wiki, but rather read the book.
Nice add to shadowrun universe, I can imagine that intended by developers

But even if not, there was some Spider story elemnt in cannon books...i just cannot recall what it was...

There is the Street gang called the spiders, but they are nice and safe and have absolutely nothing to do with "Spider"...damn I glitched on my Con roll

[PeterSmith]

in place of the spider I give you an Ant-lion. Go ahead hit it with your combat axe, remember they like nice big pit traps

Keep this in mind: whenever you see an antlion that looks like that, it's just the larve.

The plushies I can deal with. They're even kinda cute, in their own way.

The real ones, though? They skeeve me the hell out....

You guys can quit posting pictures of bugs any time now. Really.

I agree wholeheartedly. I get my weekly dose of heebie jeebies while watching Infested or extreme infestation on animal planet.

Hey Bull, Patrick wants to see your picture book of the super-happy-fun-time you had with the bugs in Chicago!

What's to be freaked out about, the final form is harmless.  Looks like a mayfly or a dragonfly if I remember right.

Guys, don't post pics of spiders, insects, etc.  Some people have pretty bad phobias about those.

People have phobias about everything.  Do we have to show no pictures in order to prevent people from freaking out over clowns/mimes/needles/belt-fed shotguns at a wedding? 

[Bull]

Lemme rephrase.  *I* have serious bug phobias, mainly spiders.  And I have ban powers.  the end.

Example of use:
Ban power

This one now wonders what new phobias developed in the sixth world
Fear of the infected, Fear of Goblinization, Fear of Evil Bust-A-Move Monkeys?
