Silk Empress

The true ruler of all spiders, older than the Broodmother.

The Broodmother was merely a pretender. The Silk Empress predates her by millennia, weaving webs of such intricacy they warp space itself. Her silk is stronger than steel and sharper than razors. She controls every strand in her web throne simultaneously.
