Portal spiders are very strange arachnids. While they have the typical excess of both eyes and legs, they appear to any close observer as somewhat... less... than they should be, as though part of them exists outside of the here and now. They are further unusual in their ability to casually step through space, teleporting even to places they cannot see.

Unlockable Special Abilities:

The Cake Is A Lie

• Requires: 1 point(s) of CR
• Benefit: A mount with this special ability unlocked allows the rider to apply any Dimension Door-based feats they know to the mount's teleport move speed. Normally, because the mount's move is only temporary to the rider (i.e., not a permanent ability of the rider), these feats would not be compatible.

Sticky Feet

• Requires: 1 point(s) of CR
• Benefit: A portal spider with this ability can end its movement on a vertical or even inverted surface without falling. This ability does not grant the portal spider the ability to move around on such surfaces (that requires Lesser Climb or Greater Climb). However, it can use its Greater Teleport move to teleport onto, or away from, such surfaces, enabling it to reach some truly unlikely places.
