A Giant Ice Spider is a crystal clear spider adapted to icy environments. It is immune to cold-based attacks, but takes an additional point of damage (per die) from fire or heat effects. Rather than spin silk webs, it spins ice into web-like structures. When an ice spider holds perfectly still in its natural environment, it is so hard to see that it surprises on 1-4 on 1d6.
Besides a poisonous bite, one can spit its freezing cold saliva up to 30 feet, which can freeze instantly and ensnare a man-sized or smaller creature. The ice spider must hit with an attack, and the affected creature can break free with a 1 on 1d6 (modified by Strength bonus).
