A hunting spider adds its Dexterity modifier to attack and damage rolls instead of its Strength modifier.
'''{{Anchor|Aerial Assault}} ({{Ex)}}:''' A hunting spider may make a full attack on a charge. When it does so or ii normally in flight, it may make an additional attack with each of its front legs in addition to its bite attack as a full attack without suffering any penalties to attack rolls.
'''{{Anchor|Poison}} ({{Ex)}}:''' A creature struck by the hunting spider’s bite attack must succeed at a DC 19 Fortitude save or suffer effects identical to a ''[[SRD:Poison|poison]]'' spell (1d10 [[Con]]/1d10 [[Con]]). This ability is extraordinary in nature and not subject to spell resistance of any kind. This save DC is Constitution-based.
'''{{Anchor|Spider Climb}} {{Ex}}:''' As per the spell, ''[[SRD:Spider Climb|Spider Climb]]'' except mundane and permanent. '''{{Anchor|Web Shot}} ({{Ex)}}:''' With a successful ranged touch attack useable as an immediate action, a hunting spider may target a single creature within Close range (default range of 40 feet) and subject them to the effects of a ''[[SRD:Web|web]]'' spell (only affecting that target instead of an area). A Dexterity-based Reflex save (DC 19) is needed to resist this effect. After using ''Web Shot'', an Avicularia can not use it again until it readies it as a swift action.
If it succeeds on this ability, an Avicularia may follow the web on its turn as a move action to move next to the target without provoking an attack of opportunity, though if it uses this ability against a target on the ground, the Avicularia stops flying.
== Mother Avicularia ==
A Mother Avicularia is one challenge rating higher, and based on [[Monster Level Equivalency Theory (3.5e Other)|MLET]], a Mother Avicularia gains one Hit Die.
