Appearing as beautiful, well-dressed humans, jorogumo lurk in the high mountains and prey on travelers, often through words and charm. These cruel creatures can fully change into a giant spider or sprout spider legs from their backs, and they often keep giant spiders as pets. Jorogumo usually eat their prey, but some humanoids meet an even more gruesome fate as living incubators for jorogumo eggs.
When they encounter a tengu, jorogumo fly into a rage and attempt to murder them as quickly as possible, for they insist that tengu can see through their trickery with a mere glance and are immune to their venom, but it isn't clear to outsiders if this is the whole story behind their single-minded hatred. Though most jorogumo are solitary creatures, some worship Norgorber and serve as valuable allies to thieves' guilds following that god's guise as the Gray Master.
