Countless crusades and raids have been made against the spiderfolk in an attempt to wipe them out. They see them as abhorrent creatures looking to prey on the weak and defenseless. This is because many, if not all the other races, despise spiderfolk. Spiderfolk stories and songs are not sung among the great epics of humans, elves and dwarves. Though there are those who choose to live that way, spiderfolk also live in forests, in mountainous areas and even in swamps. Unlike other creatures that worship Lolth, the spiderfolk do not live primarily underground. Since there has been a fear of spiders, spiderfolk have been terrorizing the other races. Spiderfolk females are always larger than spiderfolk males, the females are often a foot or two taller than the males. Typically, the hue is similar to the environment the spiderfolk inhabit, but, they can not change the color of their exoskeleton. Spiderfolk exoskeleton is usually a grey or black with a bluish, greenish or brownish hue. This exoskeleton offers no additional protection than regular mammalian skin but comes in a variety of different colors. Spiderfolk do not have skin in the traditional sense, instead their bodies are covered in a thin exoskeleton. Irritating the mouths of the would-be predator. These hairs are primarily used as a defense mechanism against creatures that try to eat them. Unlike other humanoids, spiderfolk do not have full heads of luscious locks, but instead are covered from head to abdomen in thin, spiky, little hairs. When a spiderfolk engages in feeding, the mouth opens further than when normally communicating, revealing two large fangs and two small insect-like arms usually hidden behind the cheeks and lips. These slits only continue for a few inches before stopping. Lines that look like cuts in their faces extend from the corners of their mouths, as well as vertically down from the center of the bottom lip and vertically up from the upper lip. The most noticeable feature of the spiderfolk face, aside from the eyes, is their strikingly human looking mouth. Like the spiders most have come to either fear or hate, spiderfolk have eight insectoid eyes arranged upon their head positioned in a way that allow them to see all around them. Spiderfolk have eight spider-like legs that extend from their thorax, a large bulbous abdomen, which houses many of their organs and a humanoid torso, arms and head atop of the thorax. Where a drider’s humanoid segment resembles that of the dark-elves they once were, a spiderfolk’s humanoid segment is somewhat reminiscent of the arachnids from where their name has come. Another notable area in where spiderfolk and driders differ in appearance is the “humanoid” portion of their body. Areas in where the spiderfolk and drider differ in appearance is most notably in their size, spiderfolk are considerably smaller than driders in height and size, being of a similar height to humans. Spiderfolk have a strikingly similar build to that of the underdark creature, the drider.
