Dust Spiders, inhabitants of the plane of dust, are often drawn to the prime material plane by powerful, residual magical energies. Their webs and the areas surrounding their webs are normally blanketed in a fine, sparkling dust. The dust, emitted from the spider, becomes extremely sticky upon contact with air and can act as an adhesive when substantial pressure is applied.
When a Dust Spider reaches zero (0) HTK, the dust within its body is forcibly expelled in a five-foot radius surrounding the Spider; any Character within the radius of an exploding Dust Spider will fight with -1 on the "to hit" roll until the dust is washed off the Character.
