Spider Baby

A baby spider that has claimed the wearer's head as its throne. Every time the wearer takes damage, it spawns more spiders into combat — meaning the more hits you absorb, the larger the spider army grows. This creates a perverse incentive to take damage, making it exceptional in builds with strong sustain, high armor, or death-resist mechanics. A living hive that turns punishment into reinforcements.

SpawnOnTookDamage fires every time any damage hits the wearer — melee, ranged, AoE, and status damage all count. In fights against multiple-hit enemies or enemies with fast-attack patterns, a single fight can generate 10+ spiders from this passive alone. The spawned spiders immediately enter combat as allies and act on their own turns. The wearer must survive long enough for the spider army to accumulate and contribute.

Spider Baby is most powerful on tanky frontliners with CON investment, armor, and health regen who can absorb dozens of hits across a fight without dying. Pairs with Leather Hide Mask and Conjoined Amoeba for builds that survive extreme punishment while generating spider armies. Weaker on glass cannon builds that die before spawning meaningful numbers. One of the most unique head items for spawn-focused builds that specifically want spiders.
