The Carve Spider is an insect enemy from Final Fantasy IX. It can be found on the Mist Continent overworld areas on the plateaus around Dali and Treno and Lindblum. It is not a difficult enemy to defeat, but can be annoying due to its ability to inflict Slow through its Web attack. Its strongest attack, Antenna, can be dealt with Protect, and Fire is hardly a threat at the time it is fought. Eating it learns LV3 Def-less, which also works against itself to reduce its defenses, but this is not needed to defeat it. By backtracking to Lindblum after recruiting Quina, the player can learn LV3 Def-less before even going to Gizamaluke's Grotto.
