An ettercap is one of a race of bestial spider-men aberrations located throughout Faerûn. Ettercaps are primitive, hunting Aberrations that have an affinity with spiders. Like spiders, they use webs as traps to capture prey, which is then injected with paralytic venom from the ettercap’s bite. Much like spiders, ettercaps tend to be solitary creatures, only gathering to mate. When ettercaps do socialize, it is with monstrous spiders, which they keep as pets and guards. An adult ettercap stands 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds.
