Susurrus

The Susurrus was a monstrous Spider of enormous proportions that ravaged Shadowdale's geographical backroads for millenia. It's maddening whispers and diseased bite rendered all fey who encountered it cannibalistic wendigo's.

Appearance
Appearing as a gigantic arachnid covered in mattted white fur and hateful glowing eyes, the Susurrus floated towards it's prey with the charred bloody stumps of it's legs outstretched. It bore the faint emblem of a spider on its brow. .

History
The Susurrus was unleashed the fey of Shadowdale in -2549 DR when the drow of Maerimydra had created the Land Under Shadow amid the surrounding woodland. Eventually the fey decided to make a pact in order to trap the horror and vowed never to use the region's crossroads while the Susurrus lived. This ensured the monster could never escape into the real world but also cut off many fey from Faerie, causing their numbers dwindled to dwindle over time.

In 1375 Azalar Falconhand lured the Susurrus back to the real world, where the monster was finally slain.
