Metal Spiders inhabit dark corners of civilization, driven by their desire to collect and build their web of treasure and secrets. These spiders have 8 blade-like appendages that they walk with, generally stabbing into whatever surface they're on, and they're never alone. If you ever hear the screeching skitter in the night, it may be best to stay put and let them take whatever they want. Additionally, they can be controlled by their creator, and will even present their webs to him. But who is this creator, and why would he unleash these "spiders" into the world? Instinct: To steal / To defend its web

• Leg/Sensor Coordination --- May steal an item, even if it is in a bag
• Swarm --- if any Metal Spiders are near, they join the fight
• Steals Your Secrets --- Can record snippets of a conversation, if juicy enough

Born from the nightmares of arachnophobiacs, the Aetherachnid appears as a collection of eight spearlike crystalline legs with no obvious body at the core. They thrive on dreamers, entering our world through the conduit maintained by their slumber, and gradually feed off their life essence. Rumours that humans eat up to eight of these in their sleep a year are grossly understated. Instinct: to absorb

• Crawl all over
• Teleport to the Land of Dreams
• Drain the essence from a living thing
• Swarm a single foe
• Appear near a dreamer
