Ecology: Not a true spider, but instead a species of Camel Spider (a.k.a. a form of Solifugae) Moonspiders are nocturnal arachnids found all over Skull Island. Growing to great size (larger than any known Solifugae), Moonspiders prey on a wide variety of small animals, including baby birds, various invertebrates, and hatching dinosaurs.
Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.
Powers/Tactics: Moonspiders use their acute sense of smell to seek out hatching ground birds and dinosaurs, bouncing on their tiny prey and injecting them with a lethal dose of venom. Once dead, the Moonspider will then drag its kill back to its lair to be devoured. If threatened, a Moonspider will bite in self defense and can deliver sufficient venom to weaken even a large dinosaur.
Appearance: Having the typical form for a Solifugae, Moonspiders are dark in color with an almost purplish black hide, ten legs, and enormous chelicerae capable of inflicting great wounds. They measure 6 to 8 inches across.
Designer's Notes: The Moonspider was based off of the Spider character sheet in the HERO System Bestiary, scaled up to the proper size. It appeared briefly in King Kong when Ann Darrow made her escape from Kong. She falls at once point, and you see a large black spider-like creature retreat under a rock. That was a Moonspider.
