Description (Additional Observations): Attercops, also known as Blackuns, are mutated garden spiders. They have long bristles across their bodies, making them unpalatable prey to all but the largest creatures. They have 12 eyes located all over their head, giving them 360 degree sight.

Reactions: No known interactions

Behavior: The attercop attacks with a bite, causing 1d4 damage. As the teeth hit their mark, the creature uses its electrical generation to jolt the prey. Once its victim stops moving the attercop trusses it in stick webbing, Creatures held in this manner must make a DC 10 Strength Check to escape. Attercops keep their prey as long as four days before they settle down to feed. Because of the creatures extraordinarily high Mental strength, the attercop is completely immune to all mental attacks except illusions. These mental attacks always succeed. The attercop is a solitary hunter, allowing no others of its kind within its web or territory except during fall breeding, Female Attercops deposit a half-meter diameter egg sac containing over 1000 young. Blights, bloodbirds and carrins hunt these young Attercops, likking all but a few dozen before they are large enough to defend themselves. The Attercop's dale resistant web sometimes stretches over an area of 60 meters in diameter. Creatures captured in the web need to make a DC 5 strength check to escape. Any loot found in an Attercop's web is merely indigestible waste to the spider. The lil, commonly take refuge within or behind attercop webs, although some fall prey to the spider.
