Description
Trap-Door Spider, make long burrows in the earth, line them with silk, which they spin, and fashion at the entrance a bevel-edged, hinged, accurately fitting trapdoor often made of alternate layers of earth and silk. The upper surface of the door may be covered with earth or gravel, thus disguising the entrance. These large fearless spiders are more feared than even dire spiders. Trap door spiders have been known to kill and drag creatures as large as horses down into their lairs. Due to the VERY heightened senses of the of Trap Door Spider, they will attack stealthy and invisible PCs. Now you can put these creatures to work for you. Just add the Custom 'Trap Door Spider Trigger' into your module and watch them work. :)

I'm definately going to use this. Very creative idea. The only thing I plan on changing is the frequency/odds that the spider will attack. In other words, I don't want it to be too easy for the players to re-spawn this creature. Nice work! _________________________ Borgo Pass PW Link

This is a very well made creature-trap
system. It can be used in map-areas such
as a desert, a crypt, a dungeon or a forest.
By renaming the trap-door spider's defult
name {not the tag of the creature}, one can
fit the creature into the enviroment it
spawns.
