Found this big chonker in the garden, about 4-5cm big, never seen anything like it here before. Any ideas what it could be? : ) Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what kind of spider it is but it appears to be carrying around a bunch of eggs on its back

Maybe a wolf spider?

Oh! I thought it might be eggs on the back that make it look so bumpy

and I just looked up wolf spiders, turns out their numbers have recently increased around here, so it might very well be one! Just thought the legs seemed a little too thin compared to the images I saw online
