Attercops (Blackuns)

Attercops, also known as blackuns, are mutated garden spiders. Attercops have 12 eyes located all over their heads, giving these creatures 360° sight.

Combat: The attercop attacks with a bite, causing 1d4 points of damage. As its teeth hit their mark, the creature uses its electrical generation to jolt its prey for 3d6+14 points of damage if it successfully rolls less than 14 on a d20. Once its victim stops moving, the attercop trusses it in sticky webbing. Creatures held in this manner must roll their strength -10 on a d20 to escape. Attercops keep their prey for as long as 4 days before they settle down to feed.
Because of the creatures extraordinaily high willpower, the attercop is completely immune to all mental attacks except illusions. These mental attacks will always succeed. In addition, an attercop takes half damage from electricity based attacks.

Habitat/Society: The attercop is a solitary hunter, allowing no others of its kind within its web or territory except during fall breeding. Female attercops deposit a 1½ foot diameter egg sac containing over 1000 young.
The attercop's flame-resistant web sometimes stretches over an area 60" in diameter. Creatures captured in the web need to roll their Strength -5 to escape. Any loot found in an attercops web is merely undigestible waste to the spider.

Ecology: Two types of attercops exist. One dwells strictly in its huge web, while the second variation (Attercop abulare) is an active hunter, preferring to use its web only to shackle its prey. They have long bristles across their bodies, making them unpalatable prey to all but the largest creatures.
Blight, blood birds, and carrins hunt young attercops, killing all but a few dozen before they are large enough to defend themselves. The lil, a breed of sprite, commonly take refuge within or behind attercop webs, although some fall prey to the spider.
