Strategy
A burrowing spider will move up to the closest target. If it can, it will use Burrow. Once it is inside a host, it will use Dig Deeper each turn.
Running this monster
A burrowing spider is not much of a threat by itself, or even in a large group. A burrowing spider is only dangerous if its ignored, since it takes them a turn of being in melee range before they use burrow and become dangerous. Have them drop down on players or come from behind or from little nooks to allow them to get close. But always give players enough time to react to them.
