Long story, that I won't bore you all with but the result was a group of children making up an idea for a monster, can anyone create it? Not concerned with CR of it, but I would assume it would be pretty high considering the details.
This is what they came up with
21 legs
100 antennae
poison stinger
can climb up walls
Makes webs
I am open to anything but my initial thoughts is it must be pretty big to have all those legs, All the antennae suggests blind, and tremor sense, obviously it can use web and has a poison stinger.
Beyond that I have no preconceived notions. Anyone up for the challenge?
sorry this should be in homebrew section
I'll take a stab at it. I'm thinking an insectoid aberration.

SPECIAL ABLITIES
Poison (Ex) Stinger—injury; save Fort DC 21, frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1d4 Dexterity damage; cure 2 consecutive saves
Rapid Stinging (Ex) An entomeidos’ stinger strikes with astounding speed; it can make one additional attack in a round with its sting as a swift action.
This aberration is insect-like in appearance, but sports 21 legs arranged asymmetrically about its body, and a large, whip-like appendage on its head. A strange creature of unknown origin, the entomeidos hunts for two reasons: food and reproduction. It will lair near the nests of giant vermin, using its webs and poisonous stinger to capture them. Once immobilized and cocooned, the poison causes a transformation, warping the captured insect or arachnid over a period of about a week. Once the venom has done its work, the vermin emerges from its cocoon as a full-grown entomeidos, which then goes off to find its own hunting grounds. Other creatures are not affected by the venom in this fashion, and are simply devoured as food.
The lair of an entomeidos is often mistaken for a spider’s web, however perceptive individuals will note strange patterns and forms woven into the strands, geometric designs of an oddly disturbing nature. This strange art is often the only clue that the creature living there is much more dangerous than a giant arachnid.
i love it, so on a full attack how many times does it get to sting? just the two?
Whoops, forgot to do the full attack progession under melee. It would actually get three. Base attack is +11, so a full attack would be +17/+17/+12, including the additional attack.
I assumed the stinger was attached to the odd leg and on the head.
Gotta love the minds of children!
That's why I made it an aberration; they're never quite right. The legs aren't to one side or the other, but extending spoke-like from where the abdomen joins the thorax.
I just love the fact that no one is going to trip one of these things. Ever.
