Spider

Spiders are creatures that are merely decorative (as are their cobwebs).

As of Patch v0.72, spiders can be interacted with by hitting them to kill them. Other than this they serve no purpose than providing deeper immersion. They are not listed in the Nature Guide of the Survival Guide.

Trivia

 * The game files mention a "Recluse" spider, which is a real spider with a necrotic bite endemic to North America (wikipedia), but the ones currently in game look more like a tarantula or a wolf spider.
 * There are files for a Recluse "attack", "hit", and "death" animation, implying it could have been planned to make the spider a hostile animal.
 * In the game files, there is information regarding spider poison. It is possible that spiders will be made poisonous in the future, which is possibly why they were made that they can be killed
