Wait! What if they were? 😳
Phase Spiders in the Whispering Depths came from Elliette, who was captured by Drow. She only escaped because of some turmoil in the Drow families. Perhaps she wasn't visited by Lloth but the Absolute and enhanced by the Absolute. She gave birth, then, to Phase Spider variants.
The wood woads and mephits were alsoessed with too? Wait. No. Can't even remotely make a connection there. Same with imps.
Sigh. 😔 Oh well. Thought I had something.
