Large monstrosity, unaligned Armor Class 13
Skills Perception +2, Stealth +5 Keen Smell. The spyger has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. Pounce. If the spyger moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the spyger can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action. Spider Climb. The spyger can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. Web Walker. The spyger ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

The spyger is yet another mad creation by Griks Zalow. It retains the ferocity of the tiger and a spider. It is more akin to a jumping spider, and they therefore do not make or use webs. However, they are able to utilize the webs of other large spiders as housing, and have been known to eat even other arachnids when their territory is threatened. They are highly capable ambush predators that have been released now into the forests near the lake dividing Premius territory from Aerzale as a means of deterrent. These monstrous creatures owe no loyalties and so are liable to turn even on their creators. Variant: Spider Cat
Spider cats are relatives, perhaps early prototypes of the spyger, which are not weaponized. Within some low-river towns, these cats are common sights as strays, as few want them as pets. A spider cat uses the statistics of a cat and has the Spider Climb trait. |
