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.

Corpse Puppet. The spider carries the corpse of its recent meal. As an action, the spider can puppet the body using webbing attached to parts of the corpse.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) 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.

Web (Recharge 5–6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 12 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

Description

To snare its prey, a giant spider spins elaborate webs or shoots sticky strands of webbing from its abdomen. Corpse spiders are typically found in dark forested areas. They have a uniquely haunting ability of dragging the body of their victims around and puppeting their limbs to appears as a lonely lost traveler. It is only when their next meal comes close enough to inspect the body that the spider drops the corpse and ensnares their food.
