Hair Barrage◆◆offensive

The tarantula flicks its legs, flinging spiky hairs in a 15-foot cone. This deals 4d6 piercing damage with a DC 25 reflex save.

Hazard Immunityoffensive

The shadowpact tarantula never triggers the reactions of hazards in its own lair and is immune to the negative consequences of damaging area effects created by hazards in its lair (so if a PC set off a hazard that released a Fireball inside its lair, it would not take damage from the fireball even if it was within the fireball's area).

Knockdown◆offensive

Requirements The monster's last action was a successful Strike that lists Knockdown in its damage entry Effect The monster attempts to Trip the creature. This attempt neither applies nor counts toward the monster's multiple attack penalty.
