Description
An anonzith is a huge demonic spider formed in the Abyss. They often serve greater demons and demon lords as spies, assassins, and hidden body guards. Anonziths use their webs, which are known for being especially sticky and strong, to trap enemies for torture, interrogation, and eventual consumption. They relish in taunting their prey telepathically while stalking them in an attempt to isolate targets from their allies. They are surprisingly intelligent and have mastered the ability to cast illusory spells with use of their pedipalps. Anonziths prefer to attack in ambush then favor hit-and-run combat tactics, often going invisible and relocating after each strike - this makes them deadly and unpredictable combatants as they rarely strike the same enemy twice or if they do it's never from the same angle.
