A while back I collaborated on a monster idea with a friend and wanted to see what people thought about it, and see if others had unique creatures that they fought
I present the dust spider colony for a unique starting quest experience: Essentially it boils down to 3 major parts
1 is the queen about the size of a full grown man she runs everything with the colony (Like an ant queen)
2 The warriors about twice the size of a dinner plate they go and retrieve food for the queen there are maybe 100-150 in a colony
3 The Drones (this is the best part) About the size of dust motes this would be a swarm creature they hitch rides on the warriors and pretty much ignore armor because of their size (no party suspects that the very dust is dangerous you could make a group paranoid for the rest of the game)
Essentially the colony would post up in a cave or building and start clearing out all the surrounding fauna this could be the plot hook maybe whatever town hired the party already sent people to investigate but they didn't come back, The spiders would be weak to flame and it's just an interesting low level quest with a unique enemy rather than goblins and kobolds
