This vicious arachnid
is 6' long, and has a red "hourglass"
mark on its belly. It usually stays close to its
webbed lair. The webs should be treated as
the magic-user's Web spell for the chances
of breaking free, once entrapped. The webs
may also be burned away. Any victim of the
bite of a black widow spider must make a
Saving Throw vs. Poison or die in 1 turn.
