Homebrew Drider Species Details
Driders were created from drow in an agonizing process. They grew physically stronger and kept all magical and other abilities and skills they learned during their lives.
Driders were centaur-like creatures, appearing as drow from the waist up, with their lower portions replaced by the abdomen and legs of immense spiders.
Driders were sexless because Lolth did not want to have a race of enemies to the drow.
