# Spider Works 2
## Abstract
**Spiders need to be able to have more defensive and offensive capabilities against the crew** for specific scenarios that and a new problem that has appeared is spiders beign stuck in the same form unchanging and unable to change for the good of the nest.

This isn't great since it leads to **players suiciding** or for spiders to have to many attackers not enough defenders or to many defenders and no healers.
## Intro
### 1. Add more spider types: 
#### Adds new spider types for specific situations spiders find themselves in these spiders will be specialists and stronger than common spiders but weaker than rare spiders.
### 2. Gives spiders the ability to change their spider type:
#### This increases the ability for spiders to benefit the nest by becoming different types without having to die spiders wont be locked from having diversity by player counts
### 3. Uncommon Egg tier
#### New eggs broodmothers can lay that produce stronger spiders
