Homebrew Arachnid Species Details
Born from the humanoid slaves of the Drow followers of Lolth, the Arachnids were transformed by her curses into a sinister amalgamation of spider and person. Upon finding themselves turned into their new form, the Arachnids rebelled against their Drow oppressors and managed to escape their captives to live on their own away from the prying eyes of other races. They have built tightly knit communities in the underdark and rarely also above ground. They remain reserved and fear any newcomers that are not also Arachnid, therefore they seldom interact with others that are not from their tribes. Arachnids have mostly human or elven features, but also have three sets of spider like legs emanating from their torso on each side. They also have anywhere from one to three pairs of extra smaller eyes beside their larger main ones, which lets them see better than most in light and dark conditions alike.
