The '''Black Widow Mouse''' has a distinct preference for {{SB}} cheese, except in the [[Mousoleum]], [[Catacombs]], [[Forbidden Grove]], and [[Acolyte Realm]], where it is instead especially attracted to [[Radioactive Blue Cheese]], and in [[Lagoon]] where it is instead especially attracted to [[Gnarled]] and [[Wicked Gnarly]] cheese. In the [[Laboratory]], the '''Black Widow Mouse''' is especially attracted to both {{SB}} and [[Radioactive Blue Cheese]].

Larry's Loot Lexicon: MouseHunt Info Page Image: Image Link
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+.

Hunting Strategy

The Black Widow Mouse 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 Mouse does appear on Treasure Maps, hunters will sometimes actively hunt it. Hunting in the Harbour with SUPER|brie+ (or in the Mountain with SUPER|brie+ but without Prospector's Charms) will attract the most Black Widow mice. Hunting in the Lagoon with Gnarled cheese provides the best attraction without SUPER|brie+. Some hunters like to use Wicked Gnarly cheese in the Lagoon for a chance to catch the Silth mouse at the same time.
