Traits

Spider Climb. The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Web Sense. While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.

Web Walker. The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Ambush Strike. Once per turn, the spider can deal an extra 2d6 damage to one creature it hits with a bite attack if it has advantage on the attack roll. Additionally, if the target would make a Constitution saving throw against the spider's poison, it does so at disadvantage as the Skulker Spider floods the creature's system with venom.  

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 16 (4d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way.

Description

Deadly and merciless, the Zarathel Skulker Spiders definitely carry over many traits from their wild Zarathian ancestors.  Through specialized breeding and conditioning, the Skulker Spiders develop extremely potent venom. However, this process seems to create a smaller and comparably more fragile spider compared to others in Zarathel. As such, Skulker Spiders are typically used by law enforcement when they want to make a quiet arrest of a dangerous individual, or as stealthy attackers of criminal syndicates who acquire them through black market deals.
