Homebrew Aranea Species Details

The Aranea are children of Ishara, an arachnid with the torso of a human and the body of a gigantic arachnid. Ishara was banished to the caverns for the abomination she appeared to be, dwelling in her hatred for land-folk for decades before falling in love with a human who helped her relearn affection and love. Her children were humanoid, but shared the abilities of their mother with poisonous fangs and the ability to shapeshift into spiders.
