 The adhesive properties of the traps are so strong that even larger creatures like [[korozo|Korozo]] predators struggle to break free. [[the_humans|Exohumans]] or [[the_natives_tribes_of_voi_700_d|Natives]] caught in the trap find themselves effectively immobilized without external help.
+===== Uses by the Drop Outs =====
+  * **Prey Capture:** The Drop Outs use these traps to catch small game, providing a steady food source.
+  * **Defensive Perimeter:** The traps are positioned strategically around campsites, creating a silent alarm system.
+  * **Bone Bells:** Hollowed-out bone bells are attached to the webs. When a trap is disturbed, vibrations resonate through the bones, creating a soft, almost imperceptible chime audible only to those familiar with its sound.
+  * **Ambush and Robbery:** Drop Outs sometimes lure unwary travelers into areas riddled with traps, using them to immobilize victims before robbing or capturing them.

+  * **Moral Dilemmas:** Discovering a victim trapped in one of these webs—possibly left to die—offers opportunities for players to wrestle with the decision to help or move on.
+  * **Loot and Discovery:** Players who successfully dismantle a Spider Web Trap may recover its resin strands, which can be repurposed into sticky grenades or other creative tools.
