Shiasirix - Korthart's Faithful Spider Steed

Born in captivity by the Irinaxi Drow that held Korthart’s group in bondage, Shiasirix was always planned to be used as an execution device for any in the Dark Dwarves that stepped out of line. Though this plan did indeed come to fruition, the creature held a strange bond with Korthart himself, who would often feed the creature scraps, and even fresh corpses on occasion. Thus when Korthart began his uprising, he freed Shiasirix from its own bonds and rode atop the creature as the Drow were overrun and cut down by their captors. Shiasirix fed on the Drow’s corpses for days, much to the dismay of those who bore witness to it, or worse yet had to carry the corpses around to feed the spider with. Now it is a staple of Korthart’s rule over his people, and any who might question that rule are threatened with the mandibles of his spider mount.
