Social structure 

 

Arachnoids have been known to live in small groups In mountain, forest, or cave environments. Generally these groups do not exceed 10 but have been reported to go up to 100. The smaller the group the less trusting they are of outsiders even of their own kind the general rule of thumb is to never approach a group order 10 and only approach a group of 30 or less unless you are a arachnoid or can speak arachnid.

They use their webbing to hang or make hammocks where they sleep or to hang structures to work in or on

Arachnoids raise their young as a group until they are 5 years of age at which point they can join the tribe or go out on their own.

Arachnoids age very rapidly being able to move around within the first month and communicate in arachnid before 6 months and reaching their mature stage at 7 years old. They usually live for around 40 years
