Spider zombies were once spiders of a different (s)ilk who were slain, but never properly lain to rest. They typically become affected by their own poisons and succumb to an affliction that leaves them in limbo, where they make tasty fleshy treats for zombies, ghouls, and wights.
A typical spider zombie’s body is 8 feet long. It weighs about 700 pounds.
Spider zombies cannot speak; instead they gibber, and clip their mandibles together in a slow, haunting rhythm.
Combat
Undead spiders tend to inhabit graveyards and mausoleums. They usually spin webs that cling to the trees, where they await their prey. Indoors, they span the corners of the room, where they hide in the darkness beyond the light of a torch.
Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC 17, initial and secondary damage 1d8 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Damage Reduction (Ex): A spider zombie has damage reduction 5/slashing. Spider zombies are lumbering masses of flesh.
Skills
A spider zombie has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.
Alternates:
Spider Ghoul
Spider Wight
Also creepy, usually after these beasts pass from undeadness, they become ghost spiders.
