It has come to my attention that none of the spiders in Velketor's Labyrinth are charmable by druids when they should be. Please fix this ASAP, it's game breaking for any druid trying to solo there.

with links to a classic post that shows them as animals ?

I call on the powers of the great Ele to find proof and check this.

I can tell you right now, Velketor spiders were never considered animals.

They are charmable on live with a high level Druid because around 73/78, they included insects in Druid's charming spell. But in classic, they are not considered animals for our Call of Karana spell.

Velketor isn't a Druid zone. Charm wolves in Kael, stuff in WW, most any animal in SG, rats/bats in DN... Basically every high end zone other than Velks Druid have a good option to charm. Just don't bother with Velks.

EQ doesn't care, Scarabs, Fire Beetles, Wasps, Spiders - Called them all Insectoids and allowed druids to charm.

I always thought it was bazaar that cockatrices aren't considered animals. They're freaking giant chickens, come on bros!

I was a druid on live from 1999 to 2002. I know druid suffering; I was there for it all.

Spiders in velks are actually not animals. They are crystaline creatures in the form of a spider.

I really doubt it was overlooked. Very much an accidental occurence.

Unless you cast ignite bones on them. Then they turn into regular spiders after the skeleton form wears off.

Well, agree or not, a Cocktrice is not an Animal, its not a chicken either.

Its a mythical(fabled) creature, and thus not an animal per say, but rather a magical being.

It's stupid that you can't combine Cockatrice Meat with Lettuce to make a Kunark Chicken Salad

You might be able to... if there were cockatrice meat.
