Homebrew Drider 2026 UA Species Details
Skulking through Underdark caverns on their eight legs, driders bear the Spider Queen’s curse. Each has the head and torso of a drow but the body of a giant spider. Some driders have additional spider-like features, such as eight eyes or small fangs. Driders are powerful hunters, capable of climbing along webs and walls, creating webs, and shooting caustic acid. Driders live as long as elves do, around 750 years.
