The Dust spider is a small brown arachnid that makes it home in old libraries, dungeons, or any other dark and dank area. It gets its name from its coloration. It is small (1 inch across, fully grown) and it has a clack and brown mottled coloration. When in a dusty environment it is considered to have 90% concealment. Anywhere else, upon causal inspection it may appear to be a small patch of dust.
The spider is very aggressive if something breaches its territorial boundaries.
COMBAT
The small spider prefers ambush tactics. If it is threatened or angered it will either frop or jumo upon its victim from higher ground, or will scramble up the legs of the victim to bite.
Special Ability:
Poison: The spider has a rather virulent poison that affects most warm blooded humanoid creatures. The poison has an onset time of 1d6 rounds. After the onset time, the creature must make a fortitude save. The DC is 10 (+1 for every bite sustained until the onset time). If the save is failed the victim suffers no immediate damage. However the poison causes the victims digestive system to all but stop. The result is that food and drink (Not water) will begin to putrefy within the victim. This causes the victim to purge all stomach contents violently (Vomiting). Everyday the victim must roll another fortitude save to throw off the effects. The DC for this save is increased by 1 everyday. The victim will suffer from starvation effects until the poison is fought off or magic is used to dispel it. (I.e. If a victim is bitten 3 times (Before the onset time) the original save DC is 13. After 3 days without a successful save the DC is now 16, and the victim suffers as if he/she has not eaten for 3 days.)
The spiders also have a highly evolved sense of vision that is the equivalent of Darkvision 30 feet.
