Apologies in advance for this being non-Realms d20, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to find these guys and was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.
I know that in one of the d20 books published on the subject of drow there were some varient races, the only one of which I can remember was sort of like a halfling drider. I think it was something like a halfling upper body on top of a giant tarantula lower body. Over the past few days I think I found a use for them, but now I can't find which book they're in to save my life. And I can't remember what they're called, which makes doing a google search difficult.
Does this ring any bells for anyone? I know it was one of the non-WotC d20 books, but beyond that I'm stuck. Many thanks in advance.

| I looked in Goodman Games Complete Guide to Drow and Monster Geographica - Underground, which has no pics making it harder, and didn't see anything in either. I'm not aware of any other Drow focused books. |

| I did some digging for you Hoondatha and I think I found what you are looking for. The Spiderling is detailed in the Green Ronin book, Plot and Poison: A Guidebook to Drow |

| That's it. That's it exactly. Thanks Fellfire (and Alystra); now I can stop ransacking my library. And now that I think about it, I loaned that book out and never got it back, which explains why I couldn't find them. Thanks again. |

| And in a related note concerning the other scroll, Dwelves..., and elflings. Why not a drowling? |

Because that would be wrong!! Won't somebody think of the children!!!

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Yes, "drowling" is one term to describe an drow child. I think they show up in RAS's books, but I'm away from my library right now, so can't check.
Now, as for a drow-halfling crossbreed, my guess is that it probably doesn't happen naturally, but that there have been the occasional few down the eons. Drow being such a fragmented, yet consistently magically powerful and sadistic race, I can imagine some archmage somewhere doing some experimentation when he/she needed either a) a new slave race to flaunt in front of his/her rivals, or b) shock troops to infiltrate halfling communities. |

Drow-halfling crossbreeds... Resulting in plump, cheerful, vicious knee-stabbers!  |

| Reminds me of the motto of some gnome builds over on WotC's CharOp boards years ago: "I may be tiny, but you're dead." |
