There's arachnids in them thar forests.

[Hand of Evil]

While Tolkein used them they were a common pulp monster, all those legs, the way they eat, the fear myth we have built up around them.

Just cool.

Hey, what about a spidermoth? In D&D, you have owlbears and seal-wolf and hippogriff and boalisk and gorgimera, so why not a spidermoth?

It's like a spider, but with wings too.

That said, there are also monstrous moths in D&D. See the Gloomwing. And the Carrion Moth from the Tome of Horrors (just imagine a carrion crawler undergoing a chrysalis).

Now that is an interesting thought.

you need Centipedes, Millipedes, and other carrion crawlers under the leaves.

maybe also include things like Legendary walking sticks

The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of forests is squirrels. But then, a squirrel isn't very menacing...



I don't spend a lot of time in the woods but you're right. I've rarely seen spiders there. Mostly just mosquitoes and gnats. I think Spiders just freak people out more.

you need to find the old Elminster's Ecology books from 2edADnD.
