Venenatis is a large spider that resides in the Silk Chasm.

According to Phabelle Bile, Venenatis is the last of her kind, who were hunted to extinction by dwarves.

A dwarf multicannon cannot be set up in the Silk Chasm; if attempted, you will receive the message: It doesn't seem safe to set up a cannon here.

Ironmen are eligible for drops from Venenatis when defeating it alongside other players.

Strategy

Main article: Venenatis/Strategies

Venenatis attacks with melee towards any player that's adjacent to her, and either magic or ranged for any player out of her melee range. Protection prayers will fully block the attacks, however, they will have their effectiveness reduced for every spiderling alive in the chamber.

Every four attacks, Venenatis will shuffle to another position in her lair. Every two movements will cause her to alternate between ranged and magic attacks.

When a kill starts, Venenatis begins by summoning two spiderlings, who also increase her max hit along with reducing prayer effectiveness. The spiderlings will drain prayer by 1 for every hit made regardless if it damages or not, however they only have 5 health and players will deal their max hit on them regardless of gear. Venenatis can also launch a sticky web that if stood on, damages and drains prayer by 3 and run energy by 10 every few ticks. Venenatis will always alternate between the spiderlings and the sticky web after moving around twice.

If 5 or more players are in Venenatis' lair, she will move more often and perform a special attack every time she moves, as opposed to every other time.
