Ettercaps are a non-playable race and type of Monstrosity creature in Baldur's Gate 3. They are infested with crawling spiders and can shoot webs at their prey.

“	Though they only have two arms and two legs, these foul predators have more in common with the spiders they herd than with humanoids.	„
	— In-game racial description

About

Ettercaps are Infested, making them dangerous to attack with melee weapons. This can be removed by dealing Fire or Acid damage to them.
