Description
A Realm where demons carve out empires from anything stolen from the material and other planes, the Abyss is home to demons and fiends of every kind, including the dark mother of the drow, Lolth. Known also as the Queen of Spiders, Queen of the Demonweb Pits, Lady of Chaos this exiled Seldarine goddess, and Mother of the Dark Seldarine pantheon is one of the most powerful entities in the Abyss. In her domain, she nurses ancient hatreds and conspires the doom of all those responsible for her exile.
Lair and Lair Actions
The Avatar of Lolth's Avatar mirrors the Demonweb pits, an immense network of thick, magical webbing that forms passageways and cocoon-like chambers. Throughout the web, buildings, structures, ships, and other objects hang as if caught in a spider's snare. Like the nature of any web it creates and stays connected to random portals throughout the planes, drawing objects in from demiplanes and Material Plane worlds that please the Spider Queen. Lolth is surrounded by her handmaiden yochlol demons made to serve her and outrank the authority of mightier demons while in the Mother of Lust's realm.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Avatar of Lolth takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the Avatar of Lolth can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Spin Web. Instantly creates a web (as per the spell of the same name dc 27) with 300ft radius.
- Worthy sacrifice. Choose a follower (demon, drow or spider), that creature immediatly explodes and everything within 60ft radius is subject to 35(5d12) slashing damage, (Save DEX DC 27 for half). On a failed save the target becomes paralyzed until the end of its next turn.
- Bestow Curse Drider. The Avatar of Lolth chooses a drow she deems unworthy within sight and turns it into a drider Charisma saving throw (dc 27).
- Maddening darkness. The Avatar of Lolth casts Maddening Darkness on her (duration 10 min.) requiring no concentration. Creates magical darkness with 60ft radius. Extinguishes light up to 8th level spells. Shrieks and mad laughter etc can be heard within the sphere. When a creature starts its turn in the darkness must make Wisdom saving throw (dc 27) or take 40(8d8) psychic damage or half on a success.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary Avatar of Lolth’s lair is warped by her magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
- Spiders are the apex predator in Lolth's domain. All Spiders are considered fiends and have the following traits: fire, cold, lightning damage resistance, bludgeoning, slashing, piercing resistance to non-magical attacks, poison damage immunity, condition immunity: poisoned, charmed, exhausted, frightened.
- All life is transformed to resemble the demonweb giand webs block passageways, giant spider eggs are layed in hatcheries, cocoons contain living creatures in twisted metamorphosis becoming demons that will serve the Spider Queen.
- If a humanoid spends at least 1 hour within 1 mile of the lair, that creature must succeed on a DC 27 Wisdom saving throw or descend into a madness determined by the Madness of Lolth table. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw can't be affected by this regional effect again for 24 hours..
If the Avatar of Lolth dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.

Posted Sep 27, 2021This actually feels like fighting a goddess and demon lord should feel. I don't know if I will be able to use it in my campaigns, but I'm definitely saving this stat block in case my players actually want to take the fight to Lolth herself and invade the Demonweb Pits.
