Weaver Spider (4e Monster)

Weaver Spider
Weaver spiders are the archetypal spiders; poisonous web-spinners that lurk in silken webs, awaiting prey.

Weaver Spider Tactics
Weaver spiders typically lie in wait in great silken webs for prey. When a prey gets stuck in its web (or passes underneath), the weaver spider uses entangle to trap its foe and then bites it.

Weaver Spider Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful arachana or Nature skill|nature]] skill check|check]].
 * DC 10 (arachana), DC 15 (nature): Weaver spiders wait in ambush in silken webs that they spin. Weaver spiders usually wrap their prey in silk to restrain it until it succumbs to the spider's deadly poison.
 * DC 15 (arachana), DC 20 (nature): The most dangerous weaver spiders are the deadly black widows or "widowmakers". These weaver spiders posess the most deadly poisons of all spiderkind.
 * DC 20 (arachana), DC 25 (nature): Though weaver spiders are typically solitary, some are members of so-called "spider colonies". Such colonies cannot exist without guidance from a more intelligent being, such as an arachnomancer or demonspider. Some weaver spiders are known to have developed solitary behaviour.

Encounter Groups
Weaver spiders regard most creatures (even each other) as prey, though they may be found among other spiders or spiderkind.
