If ever there was a type of monster that should go "squish" when struck by the mighty blades of the PCs, it would seem to be the lowly small-sized giant spider. Spider minions, attack!

Crab Spider Tactics
Crab spiders prefer to drop from walls or ceilings onto their victims, then swarm over them.
I was thinking about doing a few separate levels of spider minions, kind of like the Angel of Valor write-up in the Monster Manual on page 16, but I don't really need those at the moment. Maybe later.

Totally being stolen by me. Perfect!
Thanks. The world needs more Spiders.
Thanks for the encouragement. My wife does not thank you as she is sick of drawing spiders :)
It's better than drawing other things, but I am kind of concerned since I know most of these entries were created for a reason...
