Abilities
Descend on a Web (move) — The giant spider moves straight down up to 40 feet, suspended by a web line. It can hang from the web or drop off. The distance it Descends on a Web doesn't count for falling damage. A creature can Strike the web, which has AC 20 and 8 HP. If the web is reduced to 0 HP, the spider falls.
Giant Spider Venom (poison) — A target damaged by the spider's fangs must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude save or take 1d10 poison damage and gain the Off-Guard condition for 1 round.
Web Trap — A creature hit by the giant spider's web Strike gets stuck to the nearest surface. It can't move until it successfully Escapes.
