Spitters are unique among Spiders because they have the ability to shoot webbed balls at the player very rapidly. This makes spelunking very dangerous as it is hard to get within melee range. The projectiles can be dodged, but they are very fast and have a small splash radius. If the Spitter spits at a player around a corner, the webbing will curiously travel along the wall and shoot straight forward again, only missing the player if the player isn't just around the corner.
