Deep Spiders are now tamable! New Shale Spider exotic family

[Zeilla8]

DO NOT TAME THIS IN THIS BUILD! It cannot be rendered on the character selection screen and you'll end up crashing all the time if you select your hunter on the character selection screen! Wait for later builds before taming this.

Updated the first post to reflect this bug.

Won't it be fine if you tame it and then stable it?

Yes, I made a later post detailing that it can be tamed; just don't have it as the active pet when you log out or you'll run into the mentioned crash. You can still log in though with some quick mouse+keyboard combo. I'll add that post to the first post as well.

Aww, it's so tiny! *tickles the creature - fingers get bitten off*

Ooooooooooh! TEENY SPIDIES!!!!! *pets very very carefully* Would loooooove to see a pic with one with baby spice!

[Zangor]

did they make gyreworms tameable?

[Doth777]

No to the Gyreworms, and yes the new Shale Spider will give a critical error upon hitting character screen if your hunter is selected. I had the same problem and luckily someone else on the forums did too and was able to find a workaround. When I did manage to log in, the pet was already gone and I recieved an "Internal Pet Error" message.

eh. this should have stayed an elemental

[Doth777]

I disagree, I like it and cant wait for it to be fixed, I've been expecting it to become tameable and having been waiting

Any news on the red skinned ones?

[Zangor]

any other new exotic families?
i wonder if hydras and other things might be tameable

[Daranara]

Red skinned ones are tameable too!

Also, since I didn't see it listed anywhere, these spiders seem to be tenacity, of all things!

But still! Look how tiny they are! Would you trust something that size to protect you from an angry dragon?

Which red ones are tameable? There were a couple that were previously classed as elementals. Any chance of please getting a screenshot?

Beautiful! Thank you

[Protego]

Doesn't look very "red" to me. Doesn't really look any different than from the 1st Tameable, Exotic Shale spider. What's the difference(s) between the "2", Exotic Tameable Shale spiders?

[Vephriel]

Red eyes vs. Purple eyes

[Anyia]

D'awww they're SO adorable! xD

I generally stay well clear of the spiders in-game (arachnophobia ftl), but I have to agree on this one - they're so cuuuuute!
