Looks scary - I've never seen any big spiders with thick legs and fat bodies 
like that.

We mostly get big ones with tiny bodies and long spindly legs, like this one 
I found in my bathroom one morning:

The body was about 1cm long, but it's legs were probably 10cm each making it 
look huge and scary.
