Crypt spiders usually gather in mated pairs with a larger female dominating a smaller male.В In desperate times, males become food for crypt-spider young.В Once mated, the female lays her eggs in the bodies of their prey, where the brood mature by feeding on the creaturesвЂ™ fluids and each other. They are blessed by dark gods of undeath, and create and control undead through power granted by the blessing. Crypt spiders make their homes in crypts, graveyards, and other locations where dead bodies are plentiful. Females are distinctly larger than males. The crypt spider can have no more than four zombies under its control at one time.ДЄ crypt spider is an intelligent arachnid with a red body and black abdomen. At the end of this duration or when the zombie is destroyed, the corpse bursts open, releasing hundreds of crypt spider young (use swarm of spiders statistics).

This works like the animate dead spell, except the zombie stays under the crypt spiderвЂ™s control for 1d4 days. The crypt spider creates a zombie from a humanoid creature it has killed with its poison. The webbing has AC 10, 5 hp, vulnerability to fire damage, and immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage. The effect also ends if the webbing is destroyed. As an action, the restrained creature can make a DC 13 Strength check, escaping from the webbing on a success. Hit: The creature is restrained by webbing. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature. If the poison damage reduces the creature to 0 hp, the creature is stable but poisoned for 1 hour, even after regaining hp, and is paralyzed while poisoned in this way. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) piercing damage, and the creature must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 9 (2d8) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. While in contact with a web, the spider knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with that web. The spider can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. A cocooned creature has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made to escape the web.

As a bonus action, a crypt spider can cocoon a creature within 5 feet that is currently restrained by webbing.
