Logan Howard's Superior Spiders!

Here’s my attempt. I turned the grapple attack into a move and changed your monster moves so that they are giving the GM additional options rather than doubling up what the attack does. That’s something I learned from +Ray Otus. -Logan Howard on the Dungeon World Tavern website

Spider of Ygiiz Group, Small, Devious, Planar

Grapple Attack (see the Cold Grasp move)

6 HP 1 armor

Special Qualities: Grapple Attack

Among the first beings drawn through Ogo’s starry portal, the spiders are not arachnids in the true sense. They most resemble enormous six-legged ticks, the size of large hounds. The Spiders are perfectly black, so dark that they reflect no light whatsoever, appearing as only the absence of any color, as if reality itself had been cut away in the Spider’s form. The Spiders wait for the PCs to enter the darkened garden before attacking—springing through the air and bearing their victims to the ground. The touch of the Spiders is as cold as the void, searing targets with frostbite. the Spider tears freezing chunks out of its victim, permitting a swarm of local natural spiders to swarm into the wound, eager to please their extra planar allies. The Spider of Ygiiz makes a final attack attempt, crushing the spiders infesting the wound, releasing a flood of toxins. Victims will fall into a coma and struggle to regain consciousness.

Instinct: Serve Ygiiz, the Demon Spider-Mother

- Scurry higher to attack from above
- Attack one target as a group
- Use normal spiders to distract prey
