Phase spiders are aggressive predators that can move quickly from the [[SRD:Ethereal Plane|Ethereal Plane]] to attack opponents on the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]].

A typical phase spider’s body is 8 feet long. It weighs about 700 pounds.

Phase spiders cannot speak.

===Combat===

Phase spiders dwell and hunt on the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]]. Once a spider locates prey, however, it shifts to the [[SRD:Ethereal Plane|Ethereal Plane]] to attack, attempting to catch its victim [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]]. The spider shifts in, bites its victim, and retreats quickly back to the [[SRD:Ethereal Plane|Ethereal Plane]].

'''Ethereal Jaunt ([[SRD:Su|Su]]):''' A phase spider can shift from the [[SRD:Ethereal Plane|Ethereal Plane]] to the [[SRD:Material Plane|Material Plane]] as a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]], and shift back again as a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] (or during a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]]). The ability is otherwise identical with ''[[SRD:Ethereal Jaunt|ethereal jaunt]]'' ([[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]] 15th).  

'''[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):''' Injury, [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:DC|DC]] 17, initial and secondary damage 1d8 [[SRD:Constitution|Con]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] is [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' A phase spider has a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks and can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] check, even if rushed or threatened.
