A catspider is a scary creature that resembles a cat 1 foot tall, 1 foot long, and with eight legs. It also has fangs, but they retract into the mouth, so the face looks like a normal cat.
If someone doesn’t notice the extra legs and tries to pet the “cat”, it will bite and use its first four feet to scratch. The claws on these paws are poisonous as is the bite, inflicting 1d3 points of damage/round for 3 rounds. Catspiders especially like to lurk behind drapes and furniture, and will suddenly jump out to attack.
