The phase spider is so named because it is able to shift itself subtly in and out of reality during combat. The creature can stay out of phase, waiting to deliver its poisonous bite (victims save at -2; the creature is very deadly). If struck by a phase door spell, the phase spider must remain in phase for eight rounds. Becoming æthereal through magic or other means puts attackers in phase with the creature and they may strike at it with no disadvantage. The webs of this creature are highly sought after for the construction of bags of holding, etc.
