An Ettercap is a monstrous, spider-like humanoid creature featured in Dungeons & Dragons. They are often found in dark forests, caves, or other isolated, eerie locations. These creatures have the upper body of a humanoid, resembling a twisted, grotesque version of a goblin, with the lower body of a spider. Their skin is typically covered in coarse hair, and they have multiple eyes, adding to their terrifying appearance.

Ettercaps are known for their cunning and manipulative nature, often setting traps for their prey. Their most famous ability is their expertise in using webs. They are skilled at weaving webs to ensnare enemies or create elaborate traps. These webs are not only useful for hunting but also for defending their territory, making them dangerous opponents. They have venomous bites that can weaken or paralyze victims, further enhancing their ability to capture and feed on prey.

In terms of behavior, Ettercaps are solitary creatures, though they may work together with other Ettercaps or creatures that live in similar environments, such as giant spiders. They are also known to be territorial, fiercely protecting their lairs from intruders. Some Ettercaps worship dark, nature-based deities, further cementing their connection to the more sinister aspects of the natural world.

Ettercaps are not typically interested in treasure or gold but are driven by primal instincts—survival, feeding, and hunting. They often target smaller creatures or adventurers who wander too far into their domains. In combat, an Ettercap is a formidable foe, using their webbing, poison, and natural agility to overcome enemies, making them a dangerous challenge for adventurers who encounter them.
