Giant Mesothelae

Giant Mesothelae is a species of spider that is the world's largest spider, about the size of a human/dylanus head, which is mostly black in color with the large and red chelicerae. They are mostly terrestrial, but are good climbers and can climb vertically, even on walls. These spiders are carnivores that feed on insects, smaller spiders (including tarantulas, etc), washed up fish, small amphibians, small lizards, small snakes, baby crocodilians, bird chicks, and small mammals. Unlike most other spiders, giant mesothelaes do not make iconic orb webs, but rather would hide in burrows in the ground and use its silk to creature trip lines that can pick up vibrations. If prey is detected, it will ambush its victim and when the spider killed its target it will take its victim back to its burrow where the giant mesothelae will inject its digestive juices into the killed prey. Living in burrows always has its risks because it could easily be destroyed by a flood and if the Mesothelae survived it will have to wonder out in the open to search for another burrow as the spider is unable to create its own and Mesothelae do not like to share their home with others of their kind, leaving a wondering giant spider to be vulnerable to the larger predators. Due to the lack of digging abilities, the spider most often finds nests of large spiders, snakes, and/or lizards to raid them and to make them into their homes. Giant mesothelaes can vocalize by making clicking sounds with their mandibles.
