Actions

• Multiattack. The giant black widow spider makes two bite attacks.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) piercing damage plus 9 (2d8) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until it is cured. Every 24 hours that elapse, the target must repeat the saving throw, reducing its hit point maximum by 5 (1d10) on a failure. The poison is cured on a success. The target dies if the poison reduces its hit point maximum to 0. This reduction to the target’s hit point maximum lasts until the poison is cured.
• Web (Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 12 Strength check, bursting the webbing on a success. The webbing can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).
