Driders form their own collective nest of spider workers.  They learn and expand their knowledge through loose information trades and temporary alliances. A drider's offspring look like normal, but very large, spider. Though they consider their form to be a blessing, they know that changing other creatures into Driders constitutes hideous torture. A Drider often possess some sort of magical nature.

Driders change not just in body, but in mind. Regardless of the victim's former alignment, the new drider is evil. The victim's memories and past convictions remain, but are swirled in a haze of destructive, anarchic urges that force the creature to commit evil acts. Only a wish or miracle spell can change a creature back from this new form.

A drider may travel with spiders if he or she can stand to associate with the vermin. Regardless of origin, driders attack other creatures they find, normally through ambush. They greedily collect treasure from their kills.

A Drider Queen rules over the kingdom of spiders. They do her bidding, feed her, mate with her, and build her home.

Kirask, the queen of Driders in this region, lives in the Redwood Forest of California. Her nest is up within the lofty heights of the 350 ft tall trees.  She rarely leaves her webbed nest, only on important occasions will she ever exit.
