Hair Barrage◆◆

The tarantula flicks its legs, flinging spiky hairs in a 15-foot area. This deals 4d6 piercing damage with a DC 25 reflex save.

Hazard Immunity

The shadowpact tarantula never triggers the reactions of hazards in its own lair and is immune to the negative consequences of damaging area effects created by hazards in its lair (so if a PC set off a hazard that released a Fireball inside its lair, it would not take damage from the fireball even if it was within the fireball's area).

Knockdown◆

Tarantulas are ambush predators, but will attack prey in the open.

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