Chitines are as cold and heartless as the race that spawned them.
Chitine[]
Chitines where once human, but were transformed by a dark ritual into a race of spiderlike, four-armed humanoids (all the better to serve the drow). Many chitines fled from drow cities, and have spread through the underdark, but they have largely remained true to the values of chaos and evil imposed upon them by their former drow masters.
