Flavor Text

Sun There are some areas where people use the string Ariados spins for their own weaving. The resulting cloth is popular for its strength.
Moon It spins thread from both its rear and its mouth. Then it wraps its prey up in thread and sips their bodily fluids at its leisure.
Ultra Sun Every night, it wanders around in search of prey, whose movements it restrains by spewing threads before it bites into them with its fangs.
Ultra Moon It spews threads from its mouth to catch its prey. When night falls, it leaves its web to go hunt aggressively.
