Mephitis
Those that are squeamish around eight-legged creatures should stear clear of Mephitis, for she is an abomination of the arachnid kind. Like any other black widow, she dances about on quick and nimble legs, but is twice as large and has an appetite to match. Avoid her spinners at all cost, or you may find yourself snagged within a sticky trap and served up as the main course at her dinner table.

Tactics
Mephitis has a tangling web attack. She will ensnare a victim with a web, paralyzing the victim, and then pull the victim to her melee attack range. She does a considerable amount of damage and is very fast.
She is easily dispatched with a pool of Energy Vortices. Fighting using spells and melee can be dangerous due to her paralyzing webs and high damage.
