It  has an equine head  with venom-dripping fangs, and a spider's  spinnerets on its tail end.   Spider-destriers are an  unnatural hybrid of warhorse and monstrous spider.    Their origins are  attributed to priestesses of Lolth, and they are  favored mounts in  many drow communities. Herds of spider-destriers roam large subterranean web pastures, where    the webs of spiders have accumulated over centuries.  In the wild, their   social organization is  identical to that of horses. Spider-destriers are carnivorous, preying primarily on small    subterranean herbivores.  If food grows scarce, spider-destriers are    known to devour their own weak and young.A typical drow spider-destrier is 10 feet in length, stands 5½ feet high at the shoulder, and weighs about 1750 pounds.COMBAT Spider-destriers bite whenever possible, attempting to  expose their  opponents to their poison.  Their drow masters often set them to ambush   enemies: the spider-destrier hangs from the ceiling above a cave  entrance and drops onto the last enemy to enter, both attacking  and  cutting off escape.Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 14, initial damage stunned for 1d4 minutes, secondary damage paralysed for 2d4 minutes. The save DC is Constitution-based.Web (Ex): A drow spider-destrier can lower itself silently on silk strands, a single strand is strong enough to support the spider-horse and one creature of the same size.Skills: Drow spider-destriers have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Hide and Climb checks. A spider-destrier can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. Spider-destriers use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher.Carrying Capacity: A light load for a spider-destrier is up to 400 pounds; a medium load, 401-800 pounds; and a heavy load, 801-1200 pounds. A spider-destrier can drag 6,000 pounds. In DragonlanceIn the Dragonlance campaign setting, spider-destriers dwell in the    demiplane known as the Deathdark, where Jiathuli, Queen of the drow, was    exiled.</blockquote>
