Mind Warp Spider

Brainstorming Mind Warp Spider

Overview: It's a large spider that can control minds. It does so by using specially made webbing to pluck as music, spending its time playing this music to attract listeners to their doom and mates.   Those who are entralled by its music walk to their deaths, unable to stop themselves as they are lovingly embraced by the spider and either feasted upon or forced to serve it until their death.   It has a semi-eldritch form, able to quickly absorb anyone it has marked and processed into its form. Instead of traditional mandibles, it has a face of tentacles which it uses to absorb minds and somewhat eat with it.   To reproduce, in the rare instances they do, they often take thralls fully wiped and handweave them into a new MWS, often one of the few times MWS work together and not in direct competition.   Drain Bugs: Extraplanar large insectoid parasites. Using long, whip-like appendages, they siphon other creature's life force for themselves. They can create cocoons and somewhat learn.   Brain Whipper Connection: They may be related to Brain Whippers, or at least function in similar ways. It could be a higher form of Brain Whipper, being one of their great commanders of sorts when they do cooperate.  

Webbing

Warping Webbing: The MWS does not often make large caverns of webs, rather purpose woven strings which it spends its days plucking. It has a mostly sparse web network, but it can sense its entire web at once, not one to miss a thing. In some places, it can teleport right next to its webbing.   Enthralled: Those who heard its music and were entranced by it. They stumble lovingly to the Mind Warp Spider's lair. Often times, they are partially covered in the MWS's special webbing, mainly as a way to keep track of them. Sometimes their master feeds upon them, extracting lifeforce and memories.   The MWS has to feed slowly, because as it does, Thralls become less and less capable, eventually becoming immobile and drooling. In this final stage, the MWS simply webs them up fully, making sure to occasionally feed them and simply taking crumbs of what remains.     .
