The Mind Control Spider is a spider scroll found in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn.
Usage[]
Used like a scroll, this tosses a Mind Control Spider on an enemy that will turn enemies into allies for 30 seconds.
This effect can turn almost anything, of any level into an ally, including Hold Guards. Essential non combatants such as jarls or merchants are not affected. Once the effect wears off, the affected person wanders off as usual and the spider is consumed and lost. Using this spider on any citizen will count as an assault and killing that person will count as murder.
Crafting[]
These spiders can be crafted in White Ridge Sanctum using the Imbuing Chamber and the following components:
- 1 × Albino Spider Pod
- 1 × Soul Gem (Any size, does not have to be filled)
This recipe only yields one spider. In addition, after crafting the spiders, the following recipe note is added to the inventory:

- These spiders can be used in conjunction with a glitch to obtain unique armor that normally cannot be acquired. If a mind control spider is tossed onto an essential character while hidden, then for thirty seconds, the character will equip any armor better than their base armor. If the Dragonborn pickpockets any better armor onto them, leaves their inventory, and comes back, the character's orginal apparel will be there for the taking. This can be used to obtain the "unobtainable" sets of armor, such as the Greybeard's Robe and Red Hooded Robes. If the Dragonborn wishes to obtain their armor again, they must wait for one hour in-game, leave the cell, and come back. The character will have re-equipped a new set of their original apparel, and the armor given to them can be pickpocketed back.
