 A priestess of Ghaunadaur has similar attacks to those of a drider: a weapon attack, an [[Twoweapon#dNetHack|offhand weapon attack]], and a kick attack that can trap its target in a [[web]]. Unlike the drider, the priestess of Ghaunadaur has a stronger [[bite attack]] that inflicts [[corrosion]] rather than [[poison]], and also has an [[acidic]] [[passive attack]] and the ability to cast [[dNetHack monster spells|clerical monster spells]] once per round of attacks. Priestesses of Ghaunadaur boast skilled prowess in martial combat, and possess [[sleep resistance]] along with a weakness to iron.
