Skull spiders are a type of monster found in Dungeons & Dragons. They are typically depicted as being large, arachnid creatures that have skulls embedded into their bodies. These skulls can be thought of as trophies or symbols of the spider's kills. In terms of mechanics, skull spiders are often described as being highly aggressive and deadly. They use their venom to attack and kill their prey, which is usually other monsters or adventurers. Their venom can cause a variety of effects, including paralysis, blindness, and even death. Skull spiders are also known for their ability to climb walls and ceilings, making them formidable opponents in close combat. They often have multiple eyes, which give them excellent vision and allow them to see in low-light environments. This makes them well-suited to fighting in dark or underground areas. In terms of statistics, skull spiders typically have a high strength score, which reflects their ability to deliver powerful bites. They also have high dexterity scores, which allows them to climb and maneuver with ease. Their intelligence is often average or below average, reflecting their relatively simple nature as compared to more complex creatures. Skull spiders are often used as a type of "minion" creature in D&D games, meaning they are controlled by a more powerful monster or NPC. They can also be used as a type of "hazard" or environmental obstacle that adventurers must navigate around or overcome.
