Hmm, maybe he has an overinflated sense of his own importance, so he thinks he should be recognized as oinoloth?

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.
 

OK, extraplanar magical beast or outsider? Or even elemental?

All they have going for them are the webs, which most spiders have, and a death throes that only instills minor penalties. We need to jazz these guys up. Abilities inspired by dust of sneezing and choking and/or glitterdust?
 

I'm thinking extraplanar magical beast, as they still seem decidedly spiderlike, rather than more exotically elemental.

I love the dust of sneezing and choking idea! Another woefully underused concept can see the light of day. :cool:
 

Definitely extraplanar magical beast. Also like dust of sneezing and choking. Maybe as an aura or breath weapon?
