Fleshwarps are all ours. Driders being called fleshwarps is something we did. But driders being so tied to drow means we'll need to do some adjusments, and at the very least rename them, but a "spider centaur" is not something that D&D can own, and the weird appearance we gave to our driders (which don't have sexy elf heads) are also ours. So it'll probably be limited to a new name and the scrubbing of the drow bit of flavor.

Cannot tell you how happy I am to hear fleshwarps get to stay! I adore everything about them. My favorite group of creatures, right next to daemonkind.

I was really hoping to see Paizo's updated take on the Drow. Maybe bioluminescent fungus worshipers with ties to the outer gods or who knows what else. This is honestly the worst of both worlds - removing Drow and leaving nothing or nonsensical oops all snake people in their place. Cavern elves aren't even close to a substitute especially if they're going to be heroes of the darklands. I'm sure I'll get over it but I don't think I could be more disappointed than this.

Glad to see more people sharing my frustration. This is really disappointing.
