This creature resembles a small monstrous spider, except with longer legs, a larger head and stark black markings with gray high lights over the legs and back. Its eight eyes are golden-white.
Sharn shadow spiders have always been in the city of sharn as far as people know. The fact that they only live in this one city kind of sets them as a spider that lives in such a place. Its not known when they came to be, but scalars have recordings of these spiders from the time when humans started building up the city of sharn into its current form.
The sharn shadow spider is a cunning ambush hunter using the large amount of shadows that are in the lower parts of the city of sharn to hide. They don’t commonly live in the higher parts of the city from lack of large shadows, so many of the people don’t even know that these spiders live in there city as they move from level to level. Little do they know that they could be the next meal for this small dog-sized spider.
Every now and then, someone will go missing usually in the lower city so no one notices that one person is no longer there. Every now and then, someone with a big name goes down to the lower city and falls victim to the spider. When such a thing happens the city guard offers a good amount of money to people that are willing to hunt the spiders (if the city guard know it was a sharn shadow spider that killed the person).
Sharn shadow spiders can understand Common and Goblin.
Combat
Sharn shadow spiders attack with there bite attack. Commonly attacking one target at a time in hopes of killing it then running up the walls or jumping to the plane of shadow for the meal it earned before it is killed.
Paralysis (Ex): A sharn shadow spider’s teeth are coated with a clear paralyzing fluid. Any creature hit by its bite attack must make a successful Fortitude save (DC 19) or be paralyzed for 3 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes the +2 bonus from the Ability Focus feat.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 19, initial damage and secondary damage 1d3 Dex. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes the +2 bonus from the Ability Focus feat.
Shadow Blend (Su): In any condition of illumination other than full daylight, a sharn shadow spider can disappear into the shadows, giving it total concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability. A dayling spell, however, will.
Shadow Walk (Sp): At will, a sharn shadow spider can use shadow walk (caster level 5th; Will save DC 17, the save DC is Charisma based).
Skills: *A sharn shadow spider gets a +20 circumstance bonus on Hide checks when in shadows.
