Wolves and Spiders should be able to sprint as fast as the player

Wolves and Spiders were originally implemented before sprinting was in the game. Spiders are no longer much of a threat to the player because of their now-lower movement speed, and Wolves can also be outran easily, which forces Tamed Wolves to resort to teleportation in order to keep up with their owners.

Spiders being faster would also give more of a use to the Bane of Arthropods enchantment, as it gives arthropods Slowness IV when hit.

    Wolves should definitely be given the ability to sprint when you put it that way, but wouldn't the fact that spiders can spawn with the Speed status effect undermine your other point?

    They only spawn with speed on hard mode, and it is very rare, and it is only speed 1.

    Indeed, or, at the very least, give the mobs the ability to leap/dash forward to catch up when targeting another mob such as the player.

    Spiders are too slow for the role they're supposed to fill (i.e. aggressive speedy boi who climbs walls). If their movement speed were to be increased, that would make fighting spiders more of a challenge.
