Djieiene
The Djieiene is an Under Fae large spider that feeds off human and Fae.
Character arc[]
It injects a venom into its victims resulting in hallucinations and paranoia. Symptoms also include headache, itching, and bouts of aggression and rage. The Djieiene creates a magnetic field around itself to prevent its venom from dissipating, and uses it to feed off the negative emotions it causes in its victims.
Unfortunately, the aggression and conflict it causes often lead to the victims killing each other. A single Djieiene is attributed with causing a conflict in a mine that led to the deaths of almost 600 people.

Hale approached and bitten by the Djieiene
The Dijieien can only be killed if its heart is pierced.
The creature protects itself by implanting its heart in a human or Fae host. The heart must be excised and stabbed in order to kill the Dijieien. The moment the Dijieien dies, its magnetic field vanishes and the hallucinations and paranoia it created in its victims end.
Trivia[]
The Djieien is a legend of the Seneca people. A boy, Ot'hegwenhda, went in search of his father, Hagowanen. He came upon a Djieien, a six-feet tall spider, at the edge of the woods. The creature ran away as fast as he could until it reached a lodge slightly sunken into the ground. Ot'hegwenhda heard crying coming from inside the lodge and thought the sound resembled his father. He took out a fetish which came to life and he asked it how he could kill the Djieien. The fetish told him to climb high on a tree and call out "I am Ot'hegwenhda and more powerful than anything under the Blue Sky. I can kill any kind of game one earth." When he finished, he had to cut a limb from the tree and while throwing it at the ground, command it to split the spider's heart in two. The heart was in the ground under the lodge. Ot'hegwenhda did as directed by the fetish. The limb of the tree went under the lodge to the place where the heart was hidden and Djieien died. Ot'hegwenhda found his critically injured father inside the lodge and rescued him.[1]
