Under Construction! Some (or all) of the information on this page was started by a (well meaning) fanatical cultist, but was never completed, and appears to have been abandoned. Please help complete it if you are able! See this YSDC Forum discussion for details on how you can help: (link) Problem logged on: 11:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC) The specific problem is: Spider-Parasite needs detail. (More details may be found on the Discussion Page.)
The Daughters of Atlach-Nacha are from Keith Herber's "The Andaman Island (fiction)".
Daughter of Atlach-Nacha
As the priest chants, her body sways in rhythm to the Tcho-Tcho’s song. She then slowly bends forward and any witness can see that the woman’s back has swelled up incredibly. Suddenly, the skin along her spine splits wide open, revealing a shiny black surface that pulses horribly. From this opening, a wet, slimy form begins to emerge.... As the wrinkling, empty skin [of a metamorphosing daughter] is pushed forward, multiple legs spill out from the discarded molt, waving feebly, as the huge spider-thing pushes its way clear.
— Keith Herber, "The Andaman Island (fiction)"
Daughters of Atlach-Nacha are enormous, bloated, venomous black spiders, with green and gold streaks on their abdomens, once human beings, but "blessed" by their god, Atlach-Nacha, to become his chosen servants, marking his daughters with a deadly bite - "the mark of the spider" - that kills most humans, but eventually transforms the survivors into spiders, emerging from their human skin to descend into the depths of Voormithadreth to help their father to spin his Great Web.
