Monster Name: Clinger Physical Description: At first glance, tucked into ceiling corners and other high, out of the way places, these creatures appear almost as giant, pale spiders. But their spindly, bonelike legs number six rather than eight. Averaging the size of a man's torso, the body of the beast thin and wide, almost as though two great books crushed it between. Its skin is a sallow whitish color and spongy, like the underbelly of a subterranean mushroom. Their heads are bulbous. Their faces are lacking definition, only large dark smudges where eyes would be and a shadow of a mouth behind a thin membrane.
Sickly and revolting as the thing's body is, the appendages are the true fright. Three to four feet long and knobby with a multitude of joints, they end in wide, flat three fingered hands. The fingers themselves are the same as the appendages, long and knobbed with joints. The same spongy membrane that covers its mouth webs between its fingers, thick and malleable. They twitch and jerk and move with speed.
Attack Pattern: It lays in wait in corners and tree branches, any high place it can tuck itself into. When the unsuspecting walk close enough, it drops down and wraps its spindled legs around its victim, gripping them from behind and holding tightly while it attempts to suffocate its prey with its membranous webbed hands. It's appendages are strong, but not strong enough to crush a person - unless they were particularly fragile/frail. It seeks to suffocate with its palms and flesh webbing rather than crush.
Weaknesses: Despite its strength, its spongy skin is easily pierced and its organs are quite delicate. There are no bones protecting its fragile insides. Even if grabbed, a strong and quick victim stands a good chance of besting the beast. The appendages are the only part its body that offer resistance, some sort of hardness beneath the spongey, moist skin.
Abilities and Effects: Other than speed, the clinger has no special abilities and causes no effects other than attempting to suffocate. It's a low-to-medium level monster.
