Web Sense. While in contact with a web, the crystalweaver arachnid knows the exact location of any other creature in contact with the same web.

Web Walker. The crystalweaver arachnid ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.

Multiattack. The crystalweaver arachnid makes two attacks: one with its bite and one with its crystal-infused silk.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 1) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) poison damage.

Crystal Silk. The crystalweaver arachnid shoots a web up to 30 feet away. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be restrained. The webbing can be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage; immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage). While restrained, the creature takes 5 (1d4 + 3) slashing damage at the start of its turn.
