Spydric-One (4e Monster)

Spydric-One
Spydric-ones are the tainted; humans transformed by the power of the great web. Many are feral and spider-like, feeding on their prey as a spider feeds on insects trapped in its web. Spydric-ones have the innate ability to communicate with spiders, and are often in the center of spider colonies.

Spydric-One Lurking Terror Tactics
The spydric-one lurking terror lies in wait for prey to come nearby before springing an ambush. The lurking terror will attempt to flank its foes with an ally in order to deal more damage, and will viciously bite its foes. When bloodied, it will attempt to flee.

Spydric-One Hunter Tactics
The spydric-one hunter uses hit-and-run to remain mobile, charging into advantageous positions before retreating. Once bloodied, the hunter will attempt to flee.

Spydric-One Webrider Tactics
The spydric-one webrider uses its web and planar web powers to create areas of spiderwebs in strategic locations, and then uses its web hide ability to stay hidden, moving to a strategic location with web ride. It then strikes from hiding with bite or toxic bite.

Spydric-One Vampyre Tactics
The spydric-one vampyre attempts to ambush its prey, using flanking to gain combat advantage, and using its bite and toxic bite powers to subdue its foe. When bloodied, it uses vampiric spiderbite, and if that fails, it uses web to cover its retreat.
