Brown Recluse

"A small but particularly venomous spider."

- The Folio Bruti on brown recluse spiders.

The brown recluse spider is a species of spider known for its particularly venomous bite. Despite normally being native to the southwestern United States, Hogwarts Castle had a significant population of the creatures.

Behind the scenes

 * Oddly, despite being well-known in real life for their poison, as well as the Folio Bruti calling them "particularly venomous", the brown recluse is not capable of inflicting the poison status.
