Homebrew Drider Species Details

Human body parts-

the only real human limbs they have are their Torsos, arms, and head. These are fairly normal and come in any size and shape that normal humans would have. (I.e, any ethnicity, body type, and face shape.) but they do most often have markings around their skin in abnormal patterns to match with the rest of their body. 

spider body parts-

below the waist is a giant abdomen that varies in size, shape, and color depending on each individual Drider. These also provide silk and web for them to weave. Attached to that are usually 8 spindly legs, of which the two front are usually suspended. These two limbs act useful in burrowing, attacking, and weaving. The rest of the 6 legs do what you’d expect, and are frequently used in climbing, running, crouching, jumping and walking. The legs can range from thin and boney to chunky with fluffy irritating furs sticking out from them. Above the torso, they’re adorned with claw-like nails on their hands and fangs on their face. Their mouthes spread ear to ear and have two or more bulky mandibles sticking out on each side respectively. They have 4 or more eyes, the common limit being 8, and some may have spikes or fur on their joints as well. 

diet-

they eat anything and everything, taking every meal as if it’s their last. However, despite their omnivorous feedings, they most prefer a more meaty meal. They specifically prefer foods like humans, humanoids, rodents, deer, bugs, birds, and even other spiders! And while it’s not a very delectable feed, they can also eat their own webs to preserve strength.

biology-

the males and females have a few key differences, one major example of this being their sizes: with males most often being noticeably smaller than females. They also have marking differences, with males being more bright and extravagant, and females having a more neutral toned pallet. However this isn’t always the case. The females especially tend to be the more dominant side of the species, sometimes even eating the males after their Job is done. The two don’t hold relationships that well. After a female lays her eggs, she dies within three to seven days after birth. When hunting prey, they can either ambush them from the dark or let them simply get caught in their elaborate webs. Their eyes, while being able to see in the dark, lack any real vision. They can only see distorted blobs of shapes and colors. This leads them to using their sensitive legs and strong sense of smell to find the specific location of any given victim. They cant swim whatsoever without vigorous training, and when they’re met with floods or rivers, they most often drown.

social-

They don’t interact with humans often, much preferring the recluse nature of the wild. Most don’t know how to speak English or any other language, only knowing slivers and tidbits of the local tongue. This doesn’t mean they can’t learn, but most are illiterate. Often they just see humans as food, not as other intelligent individuals. But there are plenty of cases where one can adapt to the modern lifestyle and interact with others in a civil manner.
