A Lolth-touched was a creature specially blessed by the goddess Lolth.[2] Any creature was capable of receiving this blessing, though they were typically ones native to underground habitats.[1]
Description[]
Creatures that were Lolth-touched became bulkier, with bipedal ones becoming even taller. Their coloration also became darker, allowing them to more easily fade into the shadows. And they sometimes sported a faint emblem of a spider on their body, marking their favored status.[1]
Behavior[]
Lolth-touched creatures were known to be utterly fearless and always had a chaotic evil alignment.[1]
History[]
In the city of Menzoberranzan, Lolth-touched creatures protected the training academies on Tier Breche. And Lolth-touched bodyguards attended high nobles whenever they ventured away from their estates.[1]
Society[]
Habitats[]
Regardless of what type of habitat they once preferred, any creature that was Lolth-touched was usually found underground. Those that served Lolth directly lived within her divine realm, the Demonweb Pits, though sometimes they were sent on specific missions.[1]
Relationships[]
Lolth-touched mounts and beasts of burden, usually vermin, abounded in drow societies. These were mainly used by the nobility and priestly classes.[3] They could be found accompanying Lolth priestesses and guarding her temples. They could also be found serving as war beasts within drow armies.[1]
Lolth-touched creatures often rose to positions of leadership among drow, commanding elite squads that patrol the underground territory around drow cities.[1] Drow that were Lolth-touched, regardless of their sex, were highly respected within drow society.[3] Drow judicators were often blessed as Lolth-touched, which strengthened their spider-form's venom, and those that were particularly blessed could even be found with a Lolth-touched servant.[1]
