Traits

Hold Breath. The croco-spiderbee can hold its breath for 30 minutes.

Web Sense. While in contact with a web, the croco-spiderbee knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.

Web Walker. The croco-spiderbee ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Actions

Multiattack. The croco-spiderbee makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its sting.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 16). Until this grapple ends, the croco-spiderbee has advantage on sting attacks against the target, and can't bite another target.

Sting. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) 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: +4 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

The result of a mad sorcerer's attempt to outdo the destructive hybridization of owlbears, a croco-spiderbee is a horrific amalgam of reptile and arthropod. The creatures' many ways of immobilizing targets make them tempting candidates as monstrous guards.  However, only the truly idiotic would set such a creature loose in their lair. They lay their eggs weekly and will transform any space they are given into a hive of dozens if not hundreds of croco-spiderbees within a few short months. Perhaps the gods are merciful, for the croco-spiderbee is suicidally destructive, and most hives collapse due to infighting after less than a year.
