Void Crawler

A void crawler has eight yellow legs and a bone-pale body. A knot of soft red feelers that move independently of each other takes the place of fangs. Void crawlers come through thin places and spin a web that is not quite in this space, so a creature touches the web before it sees it. They take prey alive and keep it. A hold with one in its lower levels learns to count people in and out.

Traits

  • Phased Web

    Its web cannot be seen until it is touched. A creature that enters a webbed space makes a Dexterity saving throw against DC 14 or is Restrained, escaping with a Strength or Acrobatics check against the same DC.

  • Phase Walk

    Once on each of its turns it can pass through a solid barrier up to 5 feet thick as part of its move, taking 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside one.

  • Spider Climb

    It can climb any surface, including upside down, without a check.
