Selvetarm, known also as The Spider that Waits, (self-appointed) Champion of Lolth or, despite being Vhaeraun's son and thus her grandson, Son of Lolth was the drow demigod of warriors and battle prowes. His church basically consisted of a military sub-division of Lolth's church, and was practically forgotten outside of his cult in Eryndlyn. In fact, the name assoicated with those followers of the Spider that Waits--Selvetargtlin--could be applied without problems to his entire clergy.

- Selvetarm, known also as The Spider that Waits or Lolth's Champion, is a fictional demigod in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting of the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. He is worshipped by few drow in the Underdark. The place where his worshippers are most common is the city of Eryndlyn. He is the patron of unequaled battle prowess and bloodlust. He cares only for battle and destruction everywhere, and he has a great hatred for all things living, although that is nothing compared to the hatred he has for his mistress Lolth.
- Selvetarm was born from the brief union between Vhaeraun and Zandilar the Dancer, a demipower worshipped by elves in Yuirwood and later absorbed by Bast who would become Sharess, which was part of an elaborate plan to help Zandilar's followers against the attacks of Lolth's.

- Selvetarm was born from the brief union between Vhaeraun and Zandilar the Dancer, a demipower worshipped by elves in Yuirwood and later absorbed by Bast who would become Sharess, which was part of an elaborate plan to help Zandilar's followers against the attacks of Lolth's. Selvetarm was alone for a time, until he was befriended by Eilistraee who showed him the ways of good, but all this would be shortlived as a result of the trickery of Lolth. The Spider Queen was enraged by the existence of a demonic lesser lord of the Abyss, who professed himself as having power over spiders, and whose name was Zanassu. Around this time the spider demon Zanassu had been weakened by a conflict in the Prime Material Plane, and so Lolth tricked Selvetarm into destroying the Abyssal lord and absorbing his divine power, under the false pretences of winning Eilistraee's gratitude. But in his actions Selvetarm also absorbed enough of Zanassu's malevolence to overcome his acquired goodness. Lolth used this to her advantage and entrapped Selvetarm's will, binding her grandson to her service. In 1372 DR, during the War of the Spider Queen, the drow of Menzoberranzan send a contingent to Lolth's Demonweb Pits where they discover Lolth defenseless. Their guide summons his god Vhaeraun to attack the defenseless Lolth, but Selvetarm appears and in the ensuing battle they both fall off the web and plummet into the darkness below.
