Lolth

The Abyss is home to fiends of every kind, including the dark goddess of the drow, Lolth. Known as the Queen of Spiders, Mistress of Lies, and the Lady of Shadows, this exiled goddess is one of the most powerful entities in the Abyss. In its shadowy depths, she nurses ancient hatreds and plans the downfall of those responsible for her exile. Lolth's favored guise is that of a colossal, six-armed, female drider, nearly 75 feet in height, though she frequently also takes the form of a spider or a female drow. She wields six scimitars, signature weapons of the drow. It is said that a single blow from one of Lolth's sabres can fell even the mightiest mortal warrior.
Lolth lairs in the Demonweb layer of the Abyss, an immense network of thick, magical webbing that forms passageways and cocoon-like chambers. Throughout the web, buildings, structures, ships, and other objects hang as if caught in a spider's snare. The nature of Lolth's web creates random portals throughout the plane, drawing such objects in from demiplanes and Material Plane worlds that figure into the schemes of the Spider Queen. Lolth's servants also build dungeons amid the webbing, trapping and hunting Lolth's hated enemies within labyrinthine corridors of web-mortared stone.
Far beneath these dungeons yawn the bottomless Demonweb Pits where the Spider Queen dwells. There, Lolth is surrounded by her handmaidens — yochlol demons created to serve her and which outrank mightier demons while in the Spider Queen's realm.
Lolth is a demon lord and a goddess worshipped by the drow (some myths propose that she was originally a goddess who was transformed into a demon). She displays formidable power and great cruelty with an affection for arachnids. Goddess of Darkness, Drow, Evil, and Spiders (and assassins and chaos), Lolth has, through deceit and domination, garnered the ears of the dark elves and eventually established herself as their foremost deity, keeping them under her thumb by creating a society in which only the strong survive and her priestesses are strongest.
