Lichwrought Mantis Webber - AI-generated fantasy Monster

Lichwrought Mantis Webber

The construct was devised by an ambitious lich who wanted a guardian that could think just enough to hunt, but not enough to disobey. Its human-like upper torso was designed to mimic the silhouette of a fallen knight, while the mantis head and eight taloned legs were added to make it a terror in close quarters and on vertical surfaces. The web glands were an afterthought that proved essential, allowing it to shape the battlefield like a spider and harvest intruders for later experiments. It remembers only fragments of its making, but when it senses the scent of grave dust and alchemical embalming salts, it becomes eerily focused.

Evasion Shell. The construct has advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects it can see, such as traps and spells, when it is not incapacitated.
Spider Climber. The construct can move along walls, ceilings, and other vertical surfaces without needing to make an ability check, and it ignores the normal movement penalty for climbing.
Spring-Loaded Legs. The construct can jump up to 20 feet horizontally as part of its movement, even if it does not have a running start.
Web Spit. At the start of each of its turns, the construct can create a 10-foot square of sticky webbing in a space it can see within 30 feet. The web lasts until the end of the construct's next turn. The area is difficult terrain, and the first creature that enters it or starts its turn there must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn.
Hooking Riposte. When a creature the construct can see moves out of its reach, it makes one claw attack against that creature. If the attack hits, the target's speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of the current turn.
