Multiattack. The raklupis makes a Bite attack and two Serrated Sword attacks. It can use Venom Globe in place of one of these attacks.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:16 (2d10 + 5) piercing damage plus 18 (4d8) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or have the poisoned condition for 1 minute.

A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Serrated Sword. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit:19 (4d6 + 5) slashing damage plus 18 (4d8) poison damage.
Venom Globe. Ranged Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit:45 (10d8) poison damage.
Demand Loyalty. The raklupis magically ends the charmed and frightened conditions on itself and on any number of allies within 60 feet of itself.
Raklupis spyder-fiends have hard, smooth shells and gleaming spines. With luxuriantly furry wolf heads, powerful arms, and alluring voices, raklupises are the only spyder-fiends that might be called majestic. They create delicate web globes, which they fill with their venom and hurl at foes. Raklupises are keen strategists, and most of them command legions of lesser spyder-fiends.
