Just started checking out the arachnid pets today. I got a sand leaper with my lobi, and I liked it a lot. So I bought a box on the exchange and got a 'Tholian Steamer', a hot-environment spider that has some superficial similarities to tholians.
The description says it's from an extremely hot and caustic environment, so why not allow it to be used on Nukara? Sure, it's possible that its heat threshold is a bit lower than actual tholians, but it sure would make sense to let it run around in the heat.
For that matter, non-combat hortas should be able to take the environment. Guess the system just disallows noncombat pets as a category. But it would be nifty if they could update the system to allow a few select breeds who can handle the heat.
Take a look at my Foundry missions! Conjoined, Re-emergence, and . . .
Do the boxes actually list the Steamer or is it a random chance to get one?
Opening the arachnoid companion pack rewards a random pet crate which is tradeable on the exchange. I never bought a single thing from the Tholian Lobi Store yet and have 3 spiders and some other stuff from exchange that belong on the Lobi Store. Found Crystal Spinner, Tholian Steamer (thank to this thread), and Desert Leaper (listed as Sand Leaper in exchange). Crystal Spinner and Tholian Steamer have the same look, but different color schemes. Desert Leaper is fatter and bigger. Desert Leaper and Crystal Spinner are from rare crates, but the pets are uncommon. The Tholian Steamer is from a very rare crate, but the pet is rare. Only found the Tholian Steamer from the very rare section of the exchange by looking for Special Requistion Pack, but there is too many rare and uncommon Special Requistion Packs to find other spider variations.
All the spiders are different colors. Steamers are tholian orange, but not really crystalline. Spinners are an icy bluish-grey, and Leapers are a dull sandy tan. Hook spiders, from their crates, look magenta and yellow, like the ones you fight.
Unlike the mastiff puppies, there are more than one body type. So Steamers and Spinners are both small with the same skinny abdomen, but Leapers are squat and have a large, round abdomen. They remind me of the Desert Acari, and they might even have the same model.

The smaller spiders are both the same shape as the Gli'karna ice spiders from 'Frozen'.
The Spinners have an icy texture, while the Steamers have an orange texture that resembles tholians, but isn't crystal itself. Neither is obviously crystalline like the tholians, but their textures aren't normal animal textures and certainly fit with their extreme environments.

Nope. The guy above beat us to it. Maybe next round, there will be a Ferengi Trombone or a Dirty Undine for lobi store items.
As for the rest of you, direphoenix just pooped on your chest.
OT, but it reminds me of the funniest XBL handle I saw in a halo game. The guy was 'TRIBBLE on my chest', and so when you hit him with a sticky grenade, it said 'You stuck TRIBBLE on my chest'.
Ah, the things you find hilarious late at night in videogames.

I bought an unopened box and randomly got a crate for a steamer, which I then opened.

If different, what colors do you know of?
I have the Talarian hook spider, it is the same as the ones on Drozana.

Are the smally abdomen spiders taller like the Tholians?
Are the Spinners crystalline?
Basically, the Sand Leapers are like this.
The smaller spiders are both the same shape as the Gli'karna ice spiders from 'Frozen'.

You can get them by searching "Crystal Spinner" under "Any Rank" and "Any Quality" "Sort by Price."
He was a bit over 1 million EC compared to the identical just orange Tholian Steamer that is currently at 11 million?
Thank You all for the help.
...don't google that.
