Hellapeno Spider[edit]

Bright red spiders filled with a spicy toxin which burns. They are the augmented creations of a mad culinary obsessed wizard.

Wizards, no sense of right or wrong. The hellapeno spider is an augmentation of any normal spider (including half-spider creatures like driders) which fills them with a potent spicy toxin that burns the senses with intense pain. It is not clear if the name was the name of the wizard who originally introduced the aberrant genetic code, or a corruption of "jalapeno", but regardless the code has stuck around as it has proven genetically useful, especially for normal and monstrous spiders in the wild.

Creating a Hellapeno Spider[edit]

This is an inhereted template which can be applied to any "spider", including spider swarms, monstrous spiders, and half-spider creatures such as driders.

Special Attacks[edit]

Burning Poison (Ex): The hellapeno spider gains a toxic attack applied to all its natural weapons. It deals 1d6 extra fire damage to the creatures attacks, and targeted creatures must make a Fortitude save against poison. Staggered for 1 round/Sickened for 1 hour. Save negates the status effects but not the fire damage, and the save DC is Constitution based.

If the spider already possesses a poison attack, the effects of this poison stack with the previous poison (so a large monstrous spider deals 1d6 Str and Staggering/1d6 Str and Sickening). If a spider shoots webbing, the poison is on the web instead and a contact poison, though the DC is lowered by -4.

Special Qualities[edit]

Body of Warning (Ex): The hellapeno spider is always bright red or orange, often with other dangerous warning marks which instinctively cry warning. Creatures with Int 2 or less instinctively avoid attacking a hellapeno spider unless ordered or forced to, as they know it is poisonous and dangerous. Smarter creatures may attack, but they are still aware the creature is very poisonous.

Death Throes (Ex): On death a hellapeno spider bursts into a cloud of spicy fumes. The effect is similar to stinking cloud limited to their square and all adjucant squares within their reach, with a caster level equal to the creature's HD. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 HD + Con modifier.

Spicy Body (Ex): Any creatures which make a bite attack against a hellapeno spider is subject to its burning poison (including the fire damage). If swallowed it applies with a -4 penalty on the saving throw against poison.
