Its greenish face is an alien conglomeration of teeth, mandibles and multifaceted eyes. Each trollish arm and leg has several extra joints, and its entire body is colored light green with bluish algae-colored markings, bristling randomly with dense patches of blue-black hairs. A pair of black spinnerets emerges from the tip of a smallish lower abdomen. Combat Ectoplasmic trollspiders dwell and hunt on the Material Plane. Once it locates prey, however, it shifts to the Ethereal Plane to attack, attempting to catch its victim flat-footed, shifting in, biting its victim, and retreating quickly back to the Ethereal Plane. When facing organized opposition, it will use mass coccoon and ectoplasmic wall to hinder and trap the more troublesome opponents, spinning ectoplasmic threads out of its spinnerets. Ethereal Jaunt (Su): An ectoplasmic trollspider can shift from the Ethereal to the Material Plane as a free action, and shift back again as a move-equivalent action (or during a move-equivalent action). The ability is otherwise identical with ethereal jaunt cast by a 15th-level sorcerer. Psionics (Sp): At will—chameleon, mass coccoon, wall of ectoplasm. These abilities are as the powers manifested by an 8th-level psion. Attack/Defense Modes (Sp): At will—ego whip, mind thrust/empty mind, mental barrier. Telepathy (Su): An ectoplasmic trollspider can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language. Rend (Ex): If an ectoplasmic trollspider hits with two or more claw attacks against the same opponent, it latches onto the opponent's body and tears the flesh, automatically dealing additional 2d6+9 points of damage. Fast Healing (Ex): An ectoplasmic trollspider heals 5 points of damage each round so long as it has at least 1 hit point. Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffoca-tion, and it does not allow it to regrow or reattach lost body parts. Scent (Ex): An ectoplasmic trollspider can detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Poison (Ex): Bite, Fortitude save (DC 15); initial and secondary damage 2d6 temporary Constitution. [/QUOTE]
