Mordor Spider Keeper

Mordor Spider Keepers are a type of mercenary captain from whom you can hire the spine-chilling Mordor Spiders. They spawn in Mordor spider pits, which appear in Nan Ungol, the southwestern part of Mordor.

The Mordor Spider Keeper has three units for hire Mordor spiders, Spider Riders (Orc with sword, spear, battle-axe, war-hammer, etc. riding Mordor Spider) and Spider Archer Riders (Orc with bow riding Mordor Spider). Mordor Spiders cost 15 silver coins and require an alignment of -300, Spider Riders cost 25 silver coins and require an alignment of -350 and Spider Archer Riders cost 35 silver coins and require an alignment of -400. The sizes of the spiders they ride will vary. It is advised that good players stay far away from anyone with these units in their army, as they are powerful, difficult to kill, and can climb over fortress walls!

The Mordor Spider Keeper looks exactly like a regular Orc Mercenary Captain, making them easy to identify as a hiring unit. He will almost always be found riding the Largest Mordor Spider type but sometimes you will find him not riding a spider at all, if there is something in his way when he spawns.
