Features
- Eight-Legged Build
Your walking speed is 40 feet and you have a climbing speed of 40 feet. You can climb any surface, including a ceiling, without a check. You count as one size larger for carrying capacity. You cannot wear armor made for a two-legged body without it being refitted, which doubles its price.
- Venomous Bite
Your bite is a natural melee weapon dealing 1d6 piercing damage. On a hit, you can force the target to make a Constitution saving throw against a DC of 8 plus your proficiency bonus plus your Constitution modifier. On a failure it takes an extra 1d6 poison damage and is Poisoned until the end of its next turn. You can use this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses on a long rest.
