A spidel is a giant spider/scorpion. they used to live in a desert and capture passing animals from holes, but their home was broken by a quake in the 2nd book. most were turned to flamey demon spidels. (imagine a spider on fire) but some escaped this and one particular follows Lue around like a pet. soon Lue will meet Iza and she is terrified of spiders so it will be interesting.
With the ruined, melted, broken dragon hunter village made of bamboo wood,
Lue looks at it all, a mess caused by acid, hard for him to believe how high it once stood,
The spidel puts some weave down, as overproduced silk presses out its rear,
“Hmm.” He thinks, taking some of the silk, sticky but useful to give him an idea,
He takes some of the web, using oil spilled so it doesn’t stick to his skin,
As he begins rebuilding the huts, towers, and halls with weave on a constant spin,
The spidel sees with his many eyes what Lue is trying to do,
Assisting to rebuild faster than any man, as he ties together more bamboo,
Soon the place looks the same, as if nothing changed from before,
Lue finishes the work, with his hands only getting slightly sore.
