Dream Spider

A dream spider's webs have an iridescent hue and are infused with the same hallucinogenic compound as the creature's toxin. Originally denizens of tropical jungles, dream spiders have adapted well to temperate environments, particularly thriving among the rooftops of cities where shady alchemists use their venom to produce addictive drugs.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Venom Addicts

Talented alchemists process dream spider venom into an addictive drug. Those who become addicted can be driven in desperation to seek out dream spiders and allow the creatures to bite their flesh to get their fix—an arrangement that backfires horribly as the spiders feed.

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

Sidebar - Related Creatures Other Giant Spiders

A staggering number of species of giant spider exist in the world. Some, like the dream spider, whose venom creates strange hallucinations, are relatively small. Others, like the lumbering giant ogre spider, are larger than horses.

Sidebar - Related Creatures Spider Allies

Though they are vermin incapable of forming true alliances, spiders show up alongside many types of creatures, and sometimes even nest inside skeletons or other hollow undead creatures. Spellcasters sometimes call upon spiders using summon animal, and spider swarms have a way of popping up just about anywhere at the most inopportune times.
