Wraith spider

Formed from the husks of giant spiders and animated as undead by malevolent spirits from the domain of Kiaransalee.

Description
Appearing much like the monstrous spiders that they were in life, wraith spiders differ in a few noticable ways. A wraith spider's eight eyes are nothing more than hollowed out sockets and a shadowy aura emanates from the undead vermin, congealing around the fangs as pure blackness.

Combat
Wraith spiders attack and hunt in the same manner as their living counterparts, however their venom glands are replaced with strength sapping and life-draining negative energy.

Although they cannot spin webs in undeath, wraith spiders still possess the heightened sensitivity to vibrations and tremors that most spiders do.

History
During the Silence of Lolth in 1372 DR, cultists of the drow deity Kiaransalee transformed many of the spiders living in settlements such as Maerimydra and Szith Morcane into wraith spiders as twisted mockeries of Lolth's sacred creatures.
