Homebrew Drider Species Details

When a drow shows great promise, Lolth summons it to the Demon web Pits for a test of faith and strength. Those that pass the test rise higher in the Spider Queen’s favor and become transformed into a drider — a hybrid of a drow and a giant spider that serves as a living reminder of Lolth’s power. Only drow can be turned into driders, and the power to create these creatures resides with Lolth alone.
