“	A close cousin of the Acid Spitter, the Web Spitter is capable of firing globs of extremely sticky webbing that will entrap and immobilize any prey, allowing them to go in for the kill at their own pace. Relatively being compared to most of their kin, but still fully capable of spelling doom for anyone encountering one during a full-on swarm.
	— Miner's Manual Description

The Glyphid Web Spitter is a hostile creature on Hoxxes IV. It can be found in any region of the planet except Glacial Strata (where they are replaced by Frost Grunts). It is a member of the Glyphid family, though it is quite a unique Glyphid compared to its brethren. Most notable is the bright purple chitin growing on its abdomen and front legs, and the pinkish salmon color of its body underneath. Its legs and chitin are adorned with several small spikes, and the whole abdomen appears to be shaped longer and thinner. All of these features suggest an evolutionary preference for a climbing species.

As well as physical abnormalities, the Web Spitter behaves quite differently to most other Glyphids. A more passive creature serving a supportive role, the Web Spitter prefers to hang from ceilings and walls at the back lines while firing sticky web projectiles at players. Upon burrowing in, Web Spitters look for an optimal spot to fire webs from. Once a spot is found, they remain in this spot and spit webs continuously at a moderate firing speed.

These web projectiles inflict the webbed status effect, which dramatically slows the player's movement speed, and obscure the screen with a web overlay that impairs vision. This status effect lasts for four seconds, and there is no way to remove the effect from a player prematurely.
