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 a single victim to the ground. The touch of the Spiders is as cold as
the void, searing targets with frostbite. The Spiders 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 Spiders of Ygiiz makes a
final attack, crushing the spiders infesting the wound, releasing a flood of
toxins. Victims will fall into a coma and struggle to regain consciousness.
