Wolf Spider Tactics[edit]

Wolf spiders use their high speed to their advantage, charging their prey and using bite to subdue it, relying on their high defenses to protect itself. When bloodied, the wolf spider uses lycosid speed to flee.

Wolf Spider Lore[edit]

A character knows the following information with a successful arachana or nature check.

DC 10 (arachana), DC 15 (nature): Wolf spiders are typically solitary hunters, relying in their great speed and deadly poison to bring down their prey.
DC 15 (arachana), DC 20 (nature): Many wolf spiders are ambush predators, attacking their prey from silk-lined burrows.
DC 20 (arachana), DC 25 (nature): Though wolf spiders are typically solitary, some are members of so-called "spider colonies". Such colonies cannot exist without guidance from a more intelligent being, such as an arachnomancer or demonspider.

Encounter Groups[edit]

Wolf spiders regard most creatures (even each other) as prey, though they may be found among other spiders or spiderkind.
