Homebrew Arachnari Species Details
The Arachnari are a race of humanoid beings closely resembling spiders. They possess an upright posture with slender, agile bodies covered in a smooth exoskeleton that varies in coloration, often resembling the appearance of various spider species. Their heads feature multiple eyes, typically six to eight, and mandibles that can articulate speech. Long, flexible limbs extend from their torso, each ending in delicate, dexterous digits. Despite their somewhat unsettling appearance to other races, Arachnari move with grace and elegance, their movements reminiscent of the spiders from which they draw inspiration.
