Potentially weird question: if you had to assign a #dnd alignment to the fear of spiders, what would you give it?

@rpg

Just to clarify, I'm asking you to assign an alignment to the idea of creepy spiders in the abstract. I personally lean towards neutral because I don't find spiders scary until they are touching me, and I can't find jumping spiders scary at all. But I want to find out what other people think.

Post-clarification answer: unaligned

Most reference books have normalish spiders categorized as unaligned beasts. They don't qualify as intelligent enough to have morals & ethics.
