Spider Climb. The skulltula can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. Web Descent. When climbing on a ceiling, the skulltula can spin rope-like webbing and use it to descend from the ceiling as part of using its climb speed. It can use its climb speed to ascend this rope-like webbing it creates just as easily. This webbing otherwise has the same statistics as those in the Web action. Web Walker. The skulltula ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing.
Actions Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (2d8 + 1) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) poison damage. Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 ft., one creature. Hit: 13 (2d10 + 2) bludgeoning damage and if the target is a Large or smaller creature, it must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. Web (Recharge 5-6). Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range 30/60 ft., one creature. Hit: The target is restrained by webbing. As an action, the restrained target can make a DC 13 Strength check, bursting the web on a success. The web can also be attacked and destroyed (AC 10; hp 5; vulnerability to fire damage;immunity to bludgeoning, poison, and psychic damage).

A variety of skulltula that has grown to truly monstrous size—as large as a horse—most likely as a result of ideal habitat and nutrition. Their behavior doesn't seem to be much different, but the size alone makes this big variety far more threatening.
     Environment: Caves, Forest, Hills, Ruins
