You know what would be cool? A drider.

[Uatu]

Hmm - that would be cool. Will put it on the list of things "to do"... Might be easier to do a drow with that (I could reuse the torsos! )

[manikus]

I was thinking the same thing as to doing a small picture of a drow and drider, but thought that I recalled reading that they were only males and that the former drow parts were 'bloated'. (No sources for this, just some vague recollections. )

[Uatu]

Hmm - that does sound familiar. Lemme go check...

[manikus]

Okay, I just found the part I was thinking of in MM II (1e)

A drider appears to be a cross between a giant spider and a drow. The torso, head, and arms of a pale, bloated drow sprout 8 spider legs. Due to the bloated form, it is impossible to distinguish the sex of a drider, but 60% of those encountered will be female.

[Uatu]

Cool. I wonder how a drider's sex would be relevant, since they can't be distinguished? (Unless the females have clerical abilities, while the males have magical abilities.)

Hmm - the drow part is pale now? If a drow's skin is jet-black, what would it be when pale? Gray?

You're good. That's exactly what the rest of the entry says.

Ha ha - okay, pudgy, pale sexless drow with spider underbodies it is

You forgot an adjective - sexy!

Not as sexy as bearded, female dwarves, though.

Here's a request. How about another from the Fiend Folio; the Acherai (I think is how it is spelled). It is a huge 4 legged flightless bird from the abyss.
