Dark Stalker

The Unamed Spider Creature is an enemy in Dark Souls II.

Description
These strange creatures resemble a spider with only two legs and humanoid hands. They dwell in dark places and appear to fear bright lights as they will recoil if the player approaches them with a torch. Although they are not the most durable enemy, they tend to attack in pairs and their attacks can inflict Bleed on the player.

Despite their frail appearance, they can absorb quite a lot of damage and are capable of destroying stone walls. They first appear in No-Man's Wharf and often hide in the ruined buildings.

Strategy
These monsters will not pursue the player into well-lit areas which can give them time to heal and recuperate. If the player is carrying a torch, they will cower in fear and attempt to flee, although they will occasionally swipe at the player if they get too close.
