[QUOTE="Xarlen, post: 192586, member: 1060"] Looking at the Snatch, this could be ugly, but it doesn't offer what I'd like, paticularly. What I'd be looking for is something to give a Trap Door like spider; it to pop out, and bite, then drag the PC into it's hole.

If it makes it, then it drags the person into the hole with it. The spider would likely have a 16 strenght, and about large to huge size; adapted to pull large mammels into it's din to snack on. Hmm.
