“My thought on spiders? A rather strange question,” the lion admitted with a smile. “Very well. I will entertain the inquiry.” The large male took a moment to consider his answer. He’d often been told his coat looked like a spiders web but had never been asked how he felt about the creatures. “I wouldn’t say I’m fond of them, but they have their uses. That’s not to say they’re unpleasant, I just don’t feel more one way than another. Their webs can be bothersome at times.” With a chuckle Imamu added, “Have you ever stepped in a baboon spiders web? They’ll never forgive you for it. And it mats the fur.”
He shook his mane with a hearty laugh recalling the first time he had stepped on one of the burrowing tarantula dens. The glare the spider gave him. It was a miracle it hadn’t collapsed completely under his weight but the silk strands had stuck to his soft pads. With a soft sigh, he continued. “Some of the other spiders that keep their webs off the ground and out of paws way are less of a nuisance... We’ll, not really. If they’re spun low enough, it’s easy to have it caught up in your mane. Or run into it.” He shivered as if he had just done so, the uneasy feeling of a lingering strand somewhere on his pelt.
“It’s not all bad. They catch a lot of more annoying pests which can really help the rest of us out. We don’t have the time to chase down pesky insects. Wasted energy on a foe you can’t even eat. But the spiders take care of that. Mostly. Sometimes. The larger ones can eat lizards or mice or small birds. Not often, but still possible. As long as they sate their appetites somehow. I’d hate to see one turn on me. Could you imagine? A spider that could eat a lion?” He chuckled. The chuckle soon faded as his face blanked, picturing a spider large enough to eat a lion. Imamu shuddered but quickly regained composure with a smile. “I suppose that’s more than you wanted to know. I have a neutral stance towards spiders.”
The large lion kept his smile up though his thoughts were still turning. "How crazy would that be, though? A spider the size of a lion? Or larger? That's... actually that sounds rather horrifying. I'm just- I'm gonna drop it."
