WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLANDA frontline body absorbs direct attacks while this creature's reach and Grab pick off anyone who strays from formation.
SniperLAND / VERTICALA ranged attacker finishes a target already Confused or Stupefied by the venom without risking a Grab.
WeaverLAND / SUBTERRANEANA control caster stacks additional save-based effects onto a party already reeling from the shriek and poison stages.
PUNISHES
✖ low Fortitude✖ low Will✖ clumping✖ melee reliance
Avoid stacking with another poison-based controller; overlapping Fortitude-draining effects become redundant once a save is already failed.
