I started with World but I'm reaching back for some older generations of Monster Hunter to present the skinning spider - the nerscylla!
I had a build for the nerscylla where it was a vermin, but after going through some of the Pathfinder Bestiaries and talking, I ended up leaning more towards magical beast. I'm content with the final product and really like the abilities that I worked in for it. Lemme know if you guys think it should be a vermin or magical beast.
Pathfinder 1e Version:
The 2e version was almost easier to design, it at least felt less awkward with the venoms, but then I went and complicated it by making it on Word! I might switch over to doing it that way in the future, so please lemme know if you like the new version or the older 2e versions.

ENCOUNTERS
Wicked Web: A wagon carrying an array of valuable goods was lost in its shipment and the merchant suspects that the teamster might have run off with his goods. He has hired the heroes to track down the wagon with all haste and bring back the goods and their no-good driver. The heroes must track the carts travel to discover it did indeed take a detour – straight into a nerscylla’s nest. The cart is still caught in the monster’s web and the beast menaces any that intrude upon its domain.
Itsy Bitsy: Recently, an increase in missing animals and the discovery of numerous skinned beasts has gotten a druid worried about poachers in the woods. Enlisting the help of the heroes in her investigation, the heroes can discover there is a poaching operation and even learn that they’re operating out of a cave system. However, what captured poachers are unlikely to reveal is that they’ve managed to tame a nerscylla that they are using in their hunting and skinning of exotic beasts.
