Get To Know Cyrus Critters: Jumping Spider Mod for ASA

ARK: Survival Ascended is a game full of all kinds of mods, among the most popular are those that add new and unique creatures to the world of ARK. Among them stands out Cryus Critters: Jumping Spider , which integrates a spider that jumps – as the name suggests. Dive in and discover all the qualities this charming creature has to offer.

Jumping Spider

As mentioned earlier, this mod is dedicated solely to integrating the jumping spider into ARK’s maps. This adorable creature (if you don’t suffer from arachnophobia) will faithfully accompany you as a mount. This little fella has the ability to make enormous jumps and immobilize small or medium creatures by simply landing next to them. Additionally, it has a venomous bite that will help you in more than one situation.

Spawn Point

You can find these charming spiders inside caves and in the Scorched Earth map, they have a chance to appear in the dunes. However, their main spawn point will be inside caves, both on the ground and on the ceilings.

Taming

Taming jumping spiders is relatively simple, but it will be even easier if you first tame a female. To do this, you should know that the male has a small section with iridescent scales on his back, while the female does not.

Process:

For this process, you will need to build the following:

• First, you will have to obtain “Iridescent Chitin” which you can get from jumping spiders; both females and males can produce it.
• With it, you will create an “Iridescent Chitin Shield” that unlocks at level 56 and can be crafted at the smithy.
• Finally, you will need to create “Crushed Insects” to feed your new companion.

Now that you have everything you need to tame your spider, you must follow the steps below:

1. With the “Iridescent Chitin Shield” equipped, approach a female and feed her the “Crushed Insects” and voila, you have tamed your first spider.
2. To tame the male, you only have to mount the female and release pheromones by pressing the letter C.
3. They will both do a little dance, and just when they finish dancing, you can approach the male to tame him.

Done! Now you have a female and a male, and if you wish, you can breed them. Below we will tell you how.

Breeding

Breeding is quite simple; you just have to activate their breeding state and place the female and male close to each other. After some time, they will lay a small egg wrapped in silk, from which 1 to 3 spiders will hatch since these eggs have a higher probability of generating multiple babies.

Abilities

Now that you have your faithful arachnid companion, you should know its abilities.

• Climbing: It allows you to climb cliffs and structures with unmatched agility, accessing strategic points that were previously unreachable.
• Chargeable Jump: This ability allows you to propel yourself with amazing force, covering great distances in a single jump.
• 

  Pounce on Prey: Instill fear in the hearts of your enemies as you descend upon them with deadly precision. This ability will activate when you have a creature within range that can fall prey to your power. When the prey is in range it will be indicated by the small box to the left of your skill bar. It will turn green if the prey is in range; it remains red if there is no prey within range.

• Enthralling Dances: Females have the power to hypnotize males, making them dance to their melody.
• Intriguing Courtship: Males participate in a charming dance to win the favor of their partners.
• Venomous Bite: Quickly eliminate your adversaries with a venomous bite that leaves them incapacitated.
