Taranturaptor creators decided to add a dose of raptorial cunning to a spider's body to create a more effective killing machine, but one they could theoretically control without the aid of spells or abilities they did not possess. A taranturaptor bite inflicts a poison that slows their prey, making it much easier for the creatures to overtake fleeing victims. While the dewclaws look impressive, they deal no effective harm in combat, but they allow the creature to climb surfaces incredibly well.
