Traits

Spider Climb. The Blighted Giant 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 Blighted Giant Spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Hive Mind. The Blighted Giant Spider shares a hive mentality with other Blighted creatures, allowing them to coordinate attacks. If one Blighted creature is aware of a hostile creature, all others in the hive mind are also aware.

Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Blighted Giant Spider can infect creatures with the Blighted Scourge. A creature hit by the spider's bite must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or contract the Blighted Scourge.

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

This monstrous arachnid, covered in chitinous plates darkened with necrotic rot, moves with unsettling precision. Tendrils of blighted energy pulsate through cracks in its hardened exoskeleton, and its eight piercing eyes burn with an unnatural violet glow. Its legs end in jagged, barbed points, and the webbing it spins is infused with the blight, exuding an ominous, sickly haze. Any creature ensnared in its trap is doomed to corruption, as the very silk seems to pulse with infectious energy.
