Kitthix

Kitthix is a black spider that can be summoned once per rest with the Black Spider Figurine during the Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign and, if the figurine is imported, also later during Throne of Bhaal.
Appearing as a semi-intelligent huge spider, Kitthix has more in common with phase spiders, regarding abilities and creature stats. It will obey its master's commands for one hour or until slain.
==Gameplay==
*Kitthix will use a Dimension Door-like ability to teleport to an enemy, just as phase spiders do, if no opponent is closer than 8 ft.; this can't be interrupted and be done at will anytime.
*In close combat, Kitthix may switch between opponents, again using her 'phasing' ability for this.
*Kitthix' one and a half melee attacks per round count as made with a weapon at a range of 1 ft. with a speed factor of 3. In addition to its 1d8 piercing damage, it will cause 3 points of poison damage per second for a duration of 14 s; a save vs. poison with a bonus of 1 is allowed to avoid this.
** In the original Shadows of Amn without its expansion Throne of Bhaal, the poison might ignore not only magic, but also poison resistance.
**This is changed with the installation of Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal and in the Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition, where the poison is natural, so that only magic resistance is ignored.
*Kitthix is able to use a Web-like ability, Web Tangle, two times per summoning that will catch one enemy in a web and paralyze them – for 3 rounds and a half in the original games, but for only 2 rounds in the Enhanced Edition – unless a save vs. spell is made with a penalty of 2. This ability counts as level 3 spell (level 0 in BG2EE, meaning it can, say, affect Rakshasa, Demogorgon and Melissan, as well as bypass Globes of Invulnerability), ignores spell schools, has a range of 40 ft. and is made with a speed factor of 2. The web can be dispelled and avoided via magic resistance. Kitthix will not use this autonomously.
*Kitthix' immunity against paralysis in general is removed in the Enhanced Edition.
==Notes==
*Though Kitthix and the technically related effect file, FIGSPID.eff, are present in the code of the Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, the spider does not appear in-game.
