''Carrion Spiders'' is an active attack spell in the [[Witch Doctor]]'s [[Plague Skill Tree]]. It works like a summoning skill that calls forth 4 huge spiders. When cast, a zombie emerges half-way from the ground, vomiting/spitting out 4 big spiders that attack any enemies in the vicinity. If there are no enemies left (or never were) then the spiders will die, ending the spell. The spiders deal poison damage.

==Development==
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==
Only 11 WD skills were revealed at Blizzcon, (more than 55 each were shown for the Wizard and Barbarian) so our knowledge of this character's abilities is much less extensive. Furthermore, all 11 skills were active skills, so we know nothing of the WD's passives and masteries.
This skill has yet to be featured in a screen shot.
