Abilities
Web Sense — The hunting spider has imprecise tremorsense to detect the vibrations of creatures touching its web.
Tremorsense allows a monster to feel the vibrations through a solid surface caused by movement. It is an imprecise sense with a limited range (listed in the ability). Tremorsense functions only if the monster is on the same surface as the subject, and only if the subject is moving along (or burrowing through) the surface.

Spring Upon Prey (attack) —
Descend on a Web (move) — The hunting 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 that successfully Strikes the web (AC 20, Hardness 3, 5 HP) severs it, causing the spider to fall.

Web Trap — A creature hit by the hunting spider's web Strike is Immobilized and stuck to the nearest surface until it Escapes.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / VERTICALA frontline body holds the space around the webs so a trapped target cannot simply be walked away from danger.
CrasherLAND / VERTICALHeavy damage finishes a target the web has already immobilized and unable to reposition.
SniperLAND / VERTICALRanged attacks capitalize on a target stuck fast and unable to close distance or seek cover.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ standing still✖ isolated targets
Avoid stacking another Snare; redundant webs just re-trap the same target instead of controlling more of the fight.
