Canoptek Spyder is a Necron monstrous support unit that clears tiles and founds new cities.

Description

Though essentially an automated drone, a Canoptek Spyder is nonetheless a formidable foe. Its vast array of self-repair and backup systems vital for enduring uncaring millennia offer substantial protection against incoming fire. In return, any enemy that strays within reach of the Canoptek Spyder will have flesh scoured from bone by a multitude of mechanical tools and pincers.
