Web Spider Comes down from the ceiling by a thread and launches a web that homes in on X, which not only damages the Hunter but also renders him immobile until he is able to wiggle free. At half health, he gains a new pattern, spinning webs in the centre of the screen that he quickly scitters between diagonally, either continuing to fire homing webs or releasing small spiders that crawl up the walls.

His weakness can cause him to fall down and be briefly stunned if used on the thread he is hanging by, but only during his first phase.
