Is the two step spider real?

Yes, the two-step spider, also known as the Brazilian wandering spider (genus Phoneutria), is a real species found in Central and South America. It is notorious for its aggressive behavior and potent venom, which can cause serious symptoms in humans. The name "two-step" refers to the belief that a person bitten by this spider may only have two steps before feeling incapacitated due to its venom's effects. However, fatalities are rare with prompt medical treatment.
