Spider Crown
A spider crown is a helmet embedded with thin, hollow spikes that The Yklikya will often put onto prisoners of war they intend to release back to the enemy. The spikes are full of dormant Shaggy Spider eggs, each impregnated with a geas spell that will counteract the normal behavior of the spiders. When the crown is removed, it awakens the eggs inside of the host and the spiders get to work. Generally, the spiders are given the order to spy on the enemy before returning to base camp to report in. If the host can spread the infection before the host is noticed, even better. The crowns are very expensive to produce and are only used on highly valuable prisoners that stand a real chance of giving the spiders a true advantage. It is noted that as a morale-destroying weapon, the spider crown is unmatched, as many soldiers will suffer lifelong psychological scars after watching their commanding officer become a helpless meat home to a thousand enormous spiders.
