In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, the Choldrith is an Aberration. They are the priests of the Chitine race, worshipping and harbouring the favour of their goddess Lolth.
Physical Description
Choldriths are more spider-like than common Chitines. They have the body of a sickly, white, bloated spider, but they have the head of a sly, fiendish humanoid, and the front two of their eight limbs are arms instead of legs. Like Chitines, their limbs have four joints (a normal humanoid, such as a human, has three; shoulder, elbow, wrist), allowing for more flex in movement and manipulation.
Environment
Choldriths dwell underground among normal Chitines.
Society
Choldriths, as said before, are the priests of the Chitines. Chitines view them as blessings from the spider goddess Lolth, whom the Choldriths worship and venerate.
Misc
Choldriths are Chaotic Evil in alignment.
