What is this Carlotta spider for?

If you haven't noticed some outposts or cities you see on you party window (allies) and under it carlotta and if u go to where this ally is its a small spider. Does anyone know what this spider does i mean it does.

It is a pet that belongs to one of the NPC's in the town.

It leads you on a quest and/or mission, I remember this.

It's in like henge of denravi or something.

It is also in Ember Light camp.

ive never seen it lead me any where ive beat game to, lol maybe i just like out ran and never saw it lol or maybe i stepped on it (checks boots)

I didn't follow the damn thing either. There are plenty of maps scattered around the forum and one on the main site that will guide you to your next destination, rather than following some stupid spider.

I found that the useful thing about following the spider is that it revealed all the hidden mobs on your path (bugs and whatnot that hide underground). So it takes a little longer, I never rush through the scenery anyway...

Wel Carlotta has a bit of an attitude problem being lvl 2 and thinking she's lvl 20 orzo.
So Carlotta died on the 1st group of monsters we encountered.
