due to living in sewers and caves, the Aryknides have developed a powerful form of darkvision

Descended from the dark goddess Aryknae, Aryknides share many spider abilities.

Due to the Aryknide's size, they have an added bonus to their constitution and strength. Being descended from the goddess of trickery and lies, they excel in charisma

Descended from the goddess of lies and deception, Aryknides are very persuasive, and can easily convince people. Their monstrous appearance also comes in handy if extra motivation is required. Aryknides often have to use others to get them supplies, as they are not often welcome in public areas.

Aryknides can speak, read, and write in Abyssal, the dark language, due to their dark god heritage. They can also speak common with relative ease, as it is necessary to communicate with the larger world, but Abyssal is their native tongue.
