Description
Giant Water Spiders are semi-intelligent creatures, and may be allies of lesser fey creatures such as nixies or sprites who live nearby. They make underwater lairs of webs and sticks which are open only on the bottom to allow entry without loss of air, as giant water spiders are air-breathers (though they are able to operate underwater for a full turn without suffering injury). They do not swim, but rather walk on the bottom, climbing rocks or vegetation to surface.
