- ↑ "Bone Spider" (§ Bone Spider) by Erin Caswell – Artstation, August 2020. "This mob was designed to be a skeletal variant of a spider, with a ranged attack. I came up with the design, model, texture, and animation for it. Initially I tried a full skeleton design, but ultimately landed on something that looks more like a skeleton pattern on the spider's body.
