Bestiary 3 | Monsters | Deathweb | Special Abilities | Infestation
An
infestation of
poisonous spiders, which nest within this creature's exoskeleton, constantly surrounds a
deathweb, to a radius of 5 feet. Any creature within the
infestation takes 1d6 points of damage at the end of each round it remains in the area. A creature that takes this damage must make a DC 17 Fortitude save or be
nauseated for 1 round. In addition, those damaged by this
infestation are poisoned as well. Any area effect attack that deals 10 or more points of damage to a
deathweb destroys its infesting spiders, removing its aura for 3 rounds, after which a new batch of spiders swarms out of the undead's body to replenish the
infestation. The save DC is Charisma-based.
