The Moorlands Barking Spider, A New Monster

THE MOORLANDS BARKING SPIDER

Found inhabiting grasslands and prairies, these aggressive predators obtain the size of a small dog upon reaching maturity. Barking spiders are covered in hairlike cilia and have geen and tan coloration. They are characterized by their low, rumbling barking call. Besides having a paralyzing sting (save versus paralysis for no effect) and web-spinning abilities, barking spider can also spit a foul musk-like substance up to 20 feet at their target. A successful musk attack blinds the target for 2 combat rounds, temporarily reduces the target Charisma to 3, and increases chances for wandering monsters by +2. These creatures tend to reserve their paralyzing sting for their prey, using their musk attack to warn off opponents and predatory competition.
