Descend on a Web◆

The goliath spider moves straight down up to 120 feet, suspended by a web line. It can hang from the web or drop off. The distance it Descends on a Web doesn't count for falling damage.

A creature that successfully Strikes the web (AC 20, Hardness 5, 20 HP) severs it, causing the spider to fall.

Web Tether

A creature hit by the spider's web Strike is Restrained and tethered to the spider, preventing it from moving farther away from the spider.

The spider can have one creature tethered at a time. The DC to Escape or Force Open the web is 30. The tether can be severed with a Strike (AC 20, Hardness 5, HP 20), but this doesn't free the restrained creature.

Goliath spiders dwell in the deepest jungles, where they build webs as big as temples and feast on prey as large as hippopotami.

Few everyday vermin inspire as much dread as the infamous spider.
