When a drow fails a test of Lolth, or Lolth finds a drow wanting, Lolth punishes that drow in the most horrific of ways; she transforms them into a chwidencha. A chwidencha has a radial body that measures about 11 feet in diameter and weighs as much as half a ton. Many long legs (with long, barbed, spikes on the end) emerge from the same point on this body. Drow sometimes keep chwidenchas in deep pits, using them to slay foes and tear apart the weak and the incompetent.
