Anoter aberration (or they are monstruosities now?), the ettercap. Spider-men without responsabilities.
Probably a cursed cult of spider-cultists, the ettercaps are a low/middle level encounter for unfortunate heroes in the woods.
Because if you are afraid of spiders, now they have an (almost) intelligent boss too.
Cave fisher ettercap
This ettercap lives in caves underground and it preys fishes and other small animals.

Bloodcap
Also known as redcap, mosquito ettercap, tich ettercap or stirge ettercap, this variant lives mostly in marshes. It's the most strange variant, it's origin is unknown, but most think blood magic or vampirism are involved. The natural form of a bloodcap is of a small, childlike version of the standard redcap, but bloody red in color. They attack in swarm, their bite lacks venom, but, thanks to a retractile sharp tongue, they can pierce the enemy and drink their blood. They can convert blood into mass, growing large and stronger for each killed enemy. Some adventures reported of ogre-size bloodcap killing lizardmen in a blood-blind frenzy. They lack the usual affinity with spiders, bu they have some link with stirges, used sometimes like living blood-bags.
Old bloodcap can develope blood related spells and abilities, and affinity for necromancy.
They can also expell the sucked blood in a blinding splash of putrid blood.
