Of course this would happen on my first night on the island.
Also don't tarantulas only appear in the SUMMER!?
This happened on the island I had before I reset. (explains the cherries on the trees instead of the peaches i have now) I got chased by a taranula on my new island as well, but my reflexes were strong.
One of my favorite villagers was on a mystery island and I almost screamed out loud. I bought her amiibo to move her in but guess I won't need it now. She's even cuter in new horizons omg the textures and details they added are so gooood.
