I ran into Mr Terror while heading to Cazic Thule for my corpse. I figured
he was like other spiders and wouldn't attack, even though it said 'ready to
attack'. I went up to take a snap shot (real close, since it was with my
barbarian that I encountered him and I just barely reached his under belly).
Bit me twice for 90 damage each - I didn't get the screen shot either - I
just turned and ran for the zone. Luckily I didn't get poisoned.
