Homebrew Arachni Species Details

Arachni are agile, spider-like humanoids known for their cunning, patience, and mastery of webs. With multiple eyes and dexterous limbs, they excel at climbing, weaving, and ambushing prey. Arachni often dwell in shadowy forests, deep caves, or abandoned ruins.

Arachni are typically 5 to 6 feet tall, with four arms and four legs, chitinous exoskeletons, and multiple eyes. Their coloration ranges from dark browns and blacks to iridescent hues, and they possess spinnerets for web creation.

Arachni live in matriarchal clans or solitary lairs, valuing secrecy, strategy, and loyalty to their kin. They are skilled hunters, artisans, and scouts, often trading silk and rare poisons with outsiders.
