The Otulinchauroba- Planar Glass Spiders are a rare hazard in Human Space. These multi poly dimensional life forms exist within 6 or more dimensions spinning complex webs of shifting reality matrices. Ships passing through these webs may snag or even become entangled within these strange glowing strands of reality.
The spider itself can easily pass through several layers of reality allowing it access to ships & personal who may not even be aware of its existence until its too late.
The Otulinchauroba- Planar Glass Spiders lays its egg sacs within the aural energy vortex of life forms within this universe. The eggs hatch allowing the Otulinchauroba time to feed upon the life energies of its victims. The monster gains knowledge & a limited awareness even sentience for 1d4 days. The creature's intelligence fades away.
The creature's fangs carry a sub nano poison which slowly brings its target out of phase with the normal space time continuum allowing the monster to interact with its prey at its whim.
One variety of these sub planar monsters feeds off of the energies within the Three Light Drive as well as the human life force.
Super science or psionic abilities of a 4 th higher order can drive these monsters back. Only expensive super science medical applications have a chance of restoring those who have been exposed to the monster's poison.

The webs of the Otulinchauroba- Planar Glass Spiders have a 40% chance of randomly dimensionaly teleporting a victim to one of the other realities the monster is currently inhabiting. Only an eye or similar artifact will restore the character to his home reality.
There are smaller versions of these monsters that have been summoned as guardians or worse by various foul beings & scientists of the darkest turn.
These monsters have been seen on Mars & were used in the past to be harvested for their phasic sacs which used in the Three Light Drive systems.
They have been brought to Carcosa as well by the various alien races as a living resource to be harvested for their strange organs & for their use in foul rites of the darkest type & finally as living artifacts & weapons.
The monsters have been used for centuries within Human Space as its well documented!
These monsters have also been seeded by the various old one races on many worlds & they continue to thrive & seek prey out one way or another.

ReplyDeleteTrey thanks for the comment! Glad you liked the monster & the picture was from a random google search actually! I'm not sure which came first though. There will be more science fantasy stuff coming down the pike tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteMatt - The hardest working man in the OSR likes my stuff! That's fantastic! Glad your enjoying the monsters! I can't even hope to mention all of the awesome stuff you continue to produce! Thanks ever so much for the comments!
This is cool. I'm thinking about hopping on the zine train and doing a series of theme-based issues to give away for free via my blog. I'd love to include this, as I'm thinking that Big Ass Scary Spiders will be the first theme. Let me know if this sounds cool to you. I'm over at Rended Press.
