Fell Aura. Fear radiates from the arachne queen in a 20 ft radius. When a creature starts its turn or enters the 20 foot area, it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, it is frightened and the arachne queen regains 15 (2d10 + 4) hit points. The frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the arachne queen's aura for the next 24 hours.
