Traits

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

Web Walker. The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webs, and it knows the location of any other creature in contact with the same web.

Legendary Bulk. The Matron can squeeze through spaces as if she were a Medium creature, crushing timber and stone in her wake.

 

Broodmother’s Web. Webbing within 30 feet of the Matron is sticky and alive, pulsing faintly. Any creature that starts its turn in this area must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or have its movement speed reduced by half until the end of its turn.

Actions

 

Multiattack. The Matron makes two attacks: one with her Bite and one with her Leg Slam.

 

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.

Hit: 11 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 9 (2d8) poison damage and be poisoned until the end of its next turn.

 

Leg Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.

Hit: 9 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

 

Web Spray (Recharge 5–6). The Matron sprays sticky webbing in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained. Restrained creatures may use their action to make a DC 13 Strength check, escaping on a success.

 

Bonus Actions

Spawn Spiderlings (1/Day). The Matron ruptures several egg sacs, releasing 2d4 Paleback Spiderlings

 

Lair and Lair Actions

Web Collapse. The ceiling shakes, dropping loose webbing. Each creature in a 20-foot radius must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be restrained until freed.
