As someone that works with them professionally your lead wolf constantly shitting it's pants over the arachnid encounters in the Desert is annoying. Tarantulas are not evil hellbeasts, they cannot do you serious harm. They are small fuzzy creatures your wolf could probably eat in one bite. The moth tarantula is adorable.
Anyone else feel me?

Considering dogs can get bitten by poisonous spiders and suffer for it, I don't see why Leader should react positively to a large spider. Perhaps there could be options, including passive/positive ones and fight/squish-it-for-loot ones, but you could say that for a lot of encounters. Frankly, a large animal getting spooked by a spider does not seem at all unreasonable to me.

It does seem a bit unfair, especially since even snakes don't get the same treatment. Some friendly spider interactions would be great!

Your lead would need to be dumb enough to race up and bite the thing to make it act aggressively towards you. As a person who lives in a desert with real tarantulas and has all her life, they are large, non-aggressive, usually very docile friends who don't do much more except slow-motion dance to intimidate you. I've picked 'em up and handled them more times than I can count, and have never even gotten one to try and bite me.

A lot of animals have adverse reactions to spiders and snakes. I work with both myself and love them to bits BUT from a wolf's POV, they're understandably unnerved by them.
