description: 'Ether spiders are deadly predators from the Ethereal Plane resembling
|
|
giant arachnids. Rather than building webs of silk, ether spiders shape the raw
|
|
essence of the Ethereal Plane, weaving it in complex patterns that drift through
|
|
the misty void. From these ethereal nests, whole families of ether spiders can scout
|
|
the adjacent Material Plane, watching for easy prey in dark or remote corners of
|
|
the land of mortals. Once an ether spider has spotted a meal, it anchors its nest
|
|
and waits on the Ethereal Plane for its prey to draw near. As soon as its victim
|
|
is within reach, the ether spider shifts to the Material Plane, clamps its fangs
|
|
onto its prey, then shifts back to the Ethereal Plane to wait as its venom works
|
|
through the creature''s system. Ether spiders move between the planes with ease,
|
|
making them extremely dangerous to those who cannot see or attack ethereal enemies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ether spiders are not mindless or evil—they are simply hungry. If a prospective
|
|
meal can sate an ether spider''s incredible appetite through other means, they might
|
|
be able to bargain for their life. Ether spiders are especially interested in items,
|
|
information, or allies who can help them against their enemies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As many as half a dozen ether spiders might dwell in the same ether web. Although
|
|
ether spiders enjoy one another''s company, they don''t form the same bonds as most
|
|
humanoids, and they are more likely to feast on the corpse of a fallen sibling than
|
|
save one from certain doom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ether spiders dwell in vast nests adrift in the Ghost World, where they are more
|
|
likely to let down their guard. Travelers who find a floating ether spider commune
|
|
should have an easier time of making peaceful contact to trade with or even befriend
|
|
these strange arachnids. The nests drift on metaphysical currents and are rarely
|
|
seen in the same vicinity twice. Sometimes a point of interest on the neighboring
|
|
Material Plane compels them to tether their nest to an area, creating a semipermanent
|
|
home, and those who learn its location can return to it repeatedly.
