Editing Spider-God (section)

== Age Of Sigmar ==
The Spider-God survived into the Age of Sigmar, where it was confirmed that no, the Grots were ''not'' just tripping balls - it actually exists! Not only that, but it also exists alongside a pantheon of other greenskin gods that are believed to be aspects of Gorkamorka. It even has a small following amongst non-Greenskins now, with assassins and other seedy outcasts of society paying tribute to the “Scuttling Queen” as they call it. Its presence can be felt in the places the Spiderfangs have conquered - usually through an intense case of the jitters and the feeling of many eyes watching you.

The Spider-God has been known to manifest its presence through the spiders that the Spiderfang Grots control, the size of which can vary from a couple of inches wide to the size of dogs and bigger. The Arachnaroks - which are somehow still around - are believed to be its earthly avatars in a way similar to Greater Daemons. This is especially so in a unique species of Arachnarok called the Skitterstrand, which are able to create literal portals to jump between the realms, pop out, and drag some poor unsuspecting soul away with them.

Where do they get dragged, you ask? Well, that's the fun part. Its home is located in [[Shyish]], in an underworld known only as "The Evercrawl". This hell for arachnophobes and heaven for Grots is a place believed to be the afterlife for the children and worshippers of the Spider-God. This is where the Skitterstrands make their home, where they bring the souls of those they kill to be drained entirely dry by their god. Entering this place if you are not a Grot or other Spider-God worshipper is more than a death sentence - it means your immortal soul will soon be digesting in the belly of Shelob's granddaddy. As to why [[Nagash]] tolerates its presence in his realm, presumably he's too afraid to go into his basement and chase it off with a skele-broom.

In terms of temperament, the Spider-God is unique. It lacks the chaotic aggression or manic urgings seen [[Bad Moon|in]] [[Kragnos|other]] [[Gorkamorka|destruction]] [[Great Maw|gods]], and has a feral, savage intelligence. Like most spiders, it's a highly patient hunter, biding its time and waiting for the perfect moment to strike out at the realms more directly. How so? Well, the Spiderfangs claim that the Spider-God wishes to spread its influence throughout the realms and thus grow in power till one day, it can cover all of reality in its godly webbing, thus permanently blotting out all light and ushering in an era of perpetual twilight known as "The Everdank". In this blissful new era, the Spiderfangs and their fellow children of the Spider-God will reign supreme over all reality, devouring everything.

In the meantime, it is believed to be weaving a more short-term web of its own plots, through both its Spiderfang worshippers and even its followers among the other mortal races. Rumour has it that it has even created it’s own [[Age of Sigmar Roleplay|binding of Soulbound]]. It is yet to be confirmed whether this binding includes a [[Marvel Comics#Spider-Man|wisecracking human with a penchant for red and blue spandex]] or not.
