Poison (Ex): Those hit by a hairy spider's bite attack must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 11) or be injected with poison. The initial and secondary damage is 1 point of temporary Dexterity damage.

Skills: Hairy spiders have racial bonuses of +4 on Hide checks, +6 on Jump checks, and +12 on Spot checks.

Hairy spiders hunt in groups, swarming over their victims and biting off large chunks of flesh. As many as forty hairy spiders can swarm on a Medium-size creature at a time.

These hand-sized, viciously biting, hairy black spiders are found in jungles, the Underdark, tombs, and caverns. They do not spin webs of their own, but can readily move in the webs of other spiders.
