Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. If the poison damage reduces the target to 0 hit points, the target is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hit points, and is paralysed while poisoned in this way. Leg.

“ When we finally brought the beast down, the dwarves cheered. Apparently, fried crag spider legs are a dwarf delicacy, but personally, I'm just fine with venison. ” —Kaya Swiftrider, human knight Crag spiders are massive spiders that live underground with thick, stony carapaces that allow them to blend in perfectly with their surroundings. They can go without food for weeks at a time, remaining absolutely still in wait for the chance to ambush potential prey, while using sturdy webbing to encourage creatures to travel towards it. When an unwary victim wanders past, they strike, delivering a painful bite loaded with poison, then striking with their heavy forelegs to beat prey into submission. Any prey that attempts to escape is foiled by a flung web, and any prey that fights back will often do little to nothing to the formidable carapace of the crag spider.
