The '''Black Widow Mouse''' is a rare breed of [[Mice|mouse]] found in [[Bristle Woods]], [[Burroughs]], [[Gnawnia]] except the [[Windmill]], [[Whisker Woods]] regions plus [[Derr Dunes]], [[Elub Shore]], [[King's Arms]], [[Nerg Plains]], and [[Training Grounds]]. They are known to always drop [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] cheese in all locations, [[Radioactive Blue]] cheese in the [[Mousoleum]], [[Catacombs]], and [[Forbidden Grove]], and [[Gnarled]] and [[Wicked Gnarly]] cheese in the [[Lagoon]]. They are also known to occasionally drop [[Ancient Relic]] in all locations.

While Black Widow mice can be attracted by standard cheese, they have a distinct preference for [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] cheese, except in the [[Mousoleum]], [[Catacombs]], [[Forbidden Grove]], and [[Acolyte Realm]], where they are instead especially attracted to [[Radioactive Blue Cheese]], and in [[Lagoon]] where they are instead especially attracted to [[Gnarled]] and [[Wicked Gnarly]] cheese. In the [[Laboratory]], Black Widow mice are especially attracted to both [[SUPER brie+|SUPER|brie+]] and [[Radioactive Blue Cheese]].

The Black Widow is a mouse that is only rarely attracted to a hunter's trap, so one strategy is not to hunt for it and just let it come to you. Since the Black Widow does appear on [[Treasure Map | Treasure Maps]], hunters will sometimes actively hunt it. Hunting in the [[Harbour]] with '''{{SB}}''' will attract the most Black Widow mice. Hunting in the [[Lagoon]] with [[Gnarled]] cheese provides the best attraction without '''{{SB}}'''. Some hunters like to use [[Wicked Gnarly]] cheese in the Lagoon for a chance to catch the [[Silth]] mouse at the same time.

When a mouse is able to swipe a single piece of SUPER|brie+ from a hunter's trap, Widows often follow the lucky mouse and lure them into a tangled trap of their own. Their lust for magical cheese seems to grow stronger with each piece they add to their stash.

Extremely sensitive to their surroundings, their ability to detect even the slightest vibration make these stealthy mice somewhat hard to find.

This mouse carries SUPER|brie+.
