The Cinderweb brood is a group composed of various types of spiders natural to the Firelands, that feed on the magma and fire of corpses of elementals, and web networks of incendiary webs to trap their prey.[1] Not only are the spiders vicious and predatory, their numbers appear to be endless. It appears the Cinderweb Spinners are the caretakers of Beth'tilac's brood.[2]
They are not minions of Ragnaros in a literal sense, but they are still a danger to the the druids of Hyjal, and should be treated as such.[3]
