the troop cocoon summons a random spider, however there are no troops with the spider type which makes this very confusing… i could list a ton of troops that seem to be arachnid-ish that do not have type in common at all webspinner is a daemon, arachnaean weaver is an elf/monster, spider knight is an elf/knight the list goes on and on… i thought of categorizing this under bugs but… spiders arent bugs i think we can all agree on that

When the troop was released. Salty explained this in the comments. I SS’d it and saved it on my discord server because there’s literally no way in game to know.

I wish there was an insection in game that would properly list this.
