Brood Mothers are the Marsh Spiders’ equivalent of a hive queen. They are the largest females in the nest, and the only ones eligible of laying eggs (if a Brood Mother dies, the function goes to the next largest specimen in the nest), and due to their responsibilities are also the meanest spiders that an adventurer can meet. They share the special abilities of  normal Marsh Spiders, but can also use a web that functions like the Web spell. For unknown reasons, Brood Mothers prefer lizardman and dwarf meat.
