Pet Tarantula

The Pet Tarantula is a members-only land pet that was originally the October 2012 Monthly Member Gift. It returned to Jamaa during October 2013 when it was sold in the Diamond Shop. It has since become a seasonal pet that can be purchased in the Diamond Shop every year around the Night of the Phantoms.

Dance: The tarantula stands on it's four legs, the other four going up and down. Similar to the slang: "raising the roof".

Sleep: The same as it's stand, but hunched down and eyes closed.

Hop: Hops up with it's legs spreading, and repeats.

Play: Throws up a plush fly, catches it, and repeats.

Trivia

 * Like all other pets, once a tarantula is obtained, additional tarantulas can be purchased for only 400 Gems.
 * There was a glitch in June 2015 that allowed pet tarantulas to be purchased from the pet maker for just 400 Gems, even if the player had not previously obtained one. This glitch has since then been fixed.
