Description
An aranea is a large, intelligent spider with sorcerous powers. In addition to eight legs, it has a fifth pair of limbs, each about 2 feet long, located ahead of the first pair of legs. These limbs end in hands, each equipped with three clawed fingers and a double-jointed thumb.
Though araneas generally prefer to be left alone, they often prove quite knowledgeable about the ways of magic, and if approached peacefully may be willing to share their expertise for the right price (typically a magic item or some service). Skilled spellcasters, araneas try to avoid physical combat and use their webs and spells when they can. Aranea often use their magic to lure unsuspecting victims into ambushes. Rather than kill their enemies, araneas often subdue opponents and hold them for ransom.
