The Dangling Depth Dweller is a Spider variant found in the Ruins and from Webbed Blue Mushtree in blue mushtree forests. They drop from the ceiling when the player steps on their web or chops the webbed trees.

On the ground, they can leap at enemies in the same way as Spider Warriors. Their webs are commonly found in the Military and Labyrinth Biomes, along with Ornate Chests. Dangling Depth Dwellers have the same drops as all other Spiders: Monster Meat, Spider Glands, or Silk.

Dangling Depth Dwellers will retreat to their dens during the day. Their webs are permanent and cannot be destroyed by lighting nearby items on fire. Dangling Depth Dweller dens will convert nearby blue mushtrees to Webbed Blue Mushtree. Chopping a Webbed Blue Mushtree will cause spiders to spawn from all nearby dens. When caught in a trap, they become an inventory item rather than being instantly killed.

When playing as Webber, Dangling Depth Dwellers are neutral and can be befriended with Meats. Webber also can pick up spider to inventory.

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill Dangling Depth Dwellers when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.
