From Wikipedia: "The herons are long-legged freshwater and coastal birds in the family Ardeidae. There are 64 recognised species in this family. Some are called "egrets" or "bitterns" instead of "heron"."

This spider was made a long time ago when the Glest Advanced Engine crew started looking at the possibility of non-player units (like creeps, fauna, etc.).  This model and texture were made by Wciow and the rig and animations were made by me.
