Actions

Multiattack

Ker-arach makes one Bite attack and two Claw attacks.

Claw

Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage.

Spiderling Breath (Recharge 5–6)

Ker-arach exhales venomous spiderlings in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) piercing damage and 33 (6d10) poison damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

Bonus actions

Stifling Webs (Recharge 5–6)

Ker-arach spins a 30-foot cube of strong, sticky webbing in an area adjacent to itself. The webbing lasts for 1 minute, is difficult terrain, and lightly obscures its area. A creature that starts its turn in the webbing or enters the webbing for the first time on its turn must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or have the restrained condition while in the web. As an action, a creature can free itself or another creature from the web by succeeding on a DC 15 Strength check.

A 5-foot cube of the web is destroyed if it takes at least 10 acid, fire, or slashing damage on a single turn.
