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.
Wall Leaper. The spider can leap horizontally from one wall to another, or to the ground, without making an ability check as long as the surface is within 30 feet of its current location. It uses half of its movement to do this. If the distance is longer than 30 feet, it must make a DC 12 Strength (Athletics) check to succeed the jump. If it fails, the spider falls to the ground.
Desert Camouflage. The spider has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide in desert terrain.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 13 (3d8) 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
Canyon Leapers, as their name suggests, inhabit the deep canyons of blazing-hot badlands. Canyon leapers build nests of thickly matted webbing at the ends of these ravines, and line the walls and floor of the canyon with sticky webbing designed to snare prey. They hunt at night, by either ambushing creatures who enter the canyon or by scaring prey into the canyon's entrance by force; it then chases them down the chasm, closer and closer to its nest, until the webs around its home manage to snare the creature and provide the spider with an easy meal.
They have thick, bumpy hide which is typically various shades of orange, tan and brown, allowing them to blend in easily with the desert terrain. They will also use their webbing to attach cacti, dead bushes, or boulders to their exoskeleton, making them extremely difficult to notice when not moving.
