This skill was first revealed during [[BlizzCon 2008]], at that time, and up to BlizzCon 2009, it was known as Spider Totem and worked differently. It worked like a trap (the {{iw|Assassin Assassin}} skills from Diablo II) with a radius of poison damage. When cast a small totem would appear out of the ground, from which hundreds of small spiders emerge, and swarm over nearby monsters, dealing poison damage.
During BlizzCon's 2009 Heroes and Monsters panel, the development team addressed the spell, revealing it's flaws and the changes made to it. The Spider Totem had a noisy look, a player would cast this in a combat situation, and the entire screen was filled with small spiders which made it hard to concentrate. Also, they didn't like the totem thematic, as the Witch Doctor is more dark than that. They addressed the flaws by making a preset amount of bigger spiders (which are creepier) emerge from the mouth of a zombie that came out of the ground.
==Other Notes, and Speculation==
