Creepy up your place with Giant Roaming Spiders - perfect for Halloween!

These Giant Roaming Spiders will randomly roam a circle that you can set.
They're made from unique Mesh shapes specifically designed for low-lag physics, and have a super-smooth leg animation effect (no actual moving parts) while they move around. They hiss on collision, and have limited error detection to reset them back to center if they get lost.
They're great at different sizes (modify), and copyable (so you never lose them), and cheap!

The specialist script utilizes standard SL physics (this is NOT a pathfinding object*) to pick a random spot around the edge of a circle (that you can set the diameter of via Description field). The Spider then crawls towards that spot, until it picks another spot. Each spider will rez with slightly different timing - so they don't looked synced when used in a group. They are equally good on the ground or on a sky platform, and will navigate over small obstacles and small ground slopes - but suit a fairly flat area.
At only 3 prims (at 1 meter length) these spiders are great when used as a group at different sizes - in the same area they'll often hiss when colliding and look almost like they're fighting. And did I mention they're ride-able? (but not steerable)

Features
They're sizeable - rez a Mother and some babies?
Copyable - never lose them !
have Low lag scripts and Low Prim mesh (3 prims @ 1m long)
Cheap
and very very creepy - specially when a few are used in a small area :P

To see how smooth and creepy these spiders are - come see them in action in our display graveyard at the Dead Center - click the SLurl below

NOTES
------------------------------------------
*Why not Pathfinding?
For many reasons including the following...
They work on sky platforms
They have much smaller Land Impact/prim count
They are more reliable
They are rideable :)

INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------------------
Rez the Spider at the center of where your circular roaming area will be (or move it there after rezzing).
Alter the Description field of the Spider to change it's roaming diameter (if necessary - it's set to 10 meter by default).
Touch the Spider to set the center point, and it will start roaming.
Done :)

NOTE: If you need to reset the center point or diameter, either Reset the Spiders scripts, or Rez a new copy and follow the instructions just above ;)

I have seen them at some Halloween area and had to have them. Rezzed one and voila. Did all the fun in trying to break them. :D They still work. On sim, in skybox, far and short range, big or small size. And amazingly low prim and slim script time. Can't praise them enough and five stars are not enough.
And ! They are way prettier than shown on the vendor pic. Unless you are with arachnophobia, then you wont like them as they look waaaaaaay too real!
Thanks for this amazing and soooo cheap! product!

Truly Wonderful!

I love that they are mod so my spiders are not all the same size and can have different color glowing eyes. I love the random movement. And yes--it's hysterical when a group of people all ride at the same time--sort of like bumper spiders.

Okay, these have just rocketed to the top of my favorites for Halloween items. They're definitely creepy (shudders) and absolutely hilarious when you get a bunch of people riding them!
