Description
Drawn by the artist Lightning in my Hand as part of a series commission requests from me.

Based on the Brazilian Wandering Spider.

Phoneutria, which is Greek for "murderess", is a highly venomous and aggressive Spider Grimm. Located in the East area of Vale, this arachnid is found in forests like the Forever Fall. Unlike its burrow building cousins like the Gloom Widow, Phoneutria actively wanders the forest floor at night in search of food. It either attacks its prey or ambushes it. A full grown Phoneutria Grimm is the same size of an adult human of six feet tall. With a body span of six feet, legs reaching up to ten feet long and dagger-like fangs containing highly toxic venom and six glowing eyes, this beast poses a serious threat to even experienced Hunters/Huntresses. To make it more deadly, Phoneutria is equipped with sensory hairs on its body that detect vibrations, even changes in air flow. Plus, scythe-like blades poke out from the front legs to both hold prey down and for combat. To round out the compliment the Phoneutria is quick though it's not known to be quick in short bursts or all together.

This beast was encountered and captured by a mercenary team comprised of faunus called Team RXDY as a mission request from Atlas to study. The Phoneutria posed a challenge for them but they triumphed in the end. Sadly, the spider Grimm was released two days after someone attacked the facility it was stationed at. Its current whereabouts are unknown.

It's not known whether it's the only one of its kind or multiple exist.

It appears in my RWBY fanfic called Team RXDY over on Fanfiction.net.
