The '''Venenatis spiderling''' is a pet dropped by [[Venenatis]] and [[Spindel]], and is a much smaller version of it. Players can right click ''Metamorphosis'' to change between its regular and retro forms, the latter which uses the former appearance of the pet prior to 25 January 2023.

When a player receives the pet, it will automatically try to appear as their follower. At the same time, a message in the [[Chat Interface|chatbox]] will state {{mes|You have a funny feeling like you're being followed.|color=red}} However, if a player receives a pet while having a follower out (for example, a [[cat]]), it will be placed into their [[inventory]]. When this occurs, the message in the chatbox will instead state {{mes|You feel something weird sneaking into your backpack.|color=red}}

If a player's inventory is full '''and''' they have a follower already, they '''will not''' receive the pet; it must instead be claimed from [[Probita]] in [[East Ardougne]] for a reclaim token, which costs 1,000,000 [[coins]].

On [[death]], if a player loses their pet (as a follower or in your inventory) it will wander around the area for 30 seconds before despawning. Even if the player returns in time, the pet cannot be picked up, and can be reclaimed from Probita for a reclaim token.

==Trivia==
* This pet was originally polled along with the other boss pets in [[Poll:Old School feature poll - Content Poll 22|Content Poll #22]]. It gained 72.2% yes votes, 2.8% short of the passing threshold required. The introduction of the pet was re-polled in the [[Poll:Old School Content Poll 30: Near Miss Poll|Near Miss Poll]], and passed by 90.3%.
* The dialogue is a reference to a cutaway in an episode of the animated sitcom ''{{wp|Family Guy}}'', in which Spider-Man saves Peter Griffin from a fatal fall, claiming that everybody who gets in a dangerous situation gets to be saved by Spider-Man once.
