How should we roleplay this? The PC cannot stand the sight of spiders, and therefore must never come within sight radius of them, or else will suffer a Morale Failure: Panic for four rounds (no Save.) The other characters in the party must do all the scouting ahead & killing, or else all the spiders must be killed while out of sight range, by using area-of-effect spells.
Seriously, though, changing the animation files seems the best bet. I suggest all the Dog and Wolf avatars; there's a good variety of them, they hardly get used anymore, and they move at about the right speeds. Roughly the same amount of hitpoints, too.
