Homebrew Arachne Species Details
History
Infected & trapped. Lost & never found. These creatures has been known to be rather infectious. Not much is known about how they turn into what they are, yet most know call it a curse or blessing yet we known they are infected when something happens. One of these things dubbed 'Spiderlings' come out. Looking rather different from when they went into caves infested with toxic arachnid like creatures.
Some have assumed that there is a cocoon phase for such a creature. But others that is highly unlikely, due to the different variations they end up seeing. While they do all share one thing in common, is their ability to weave threads, clothing and other things into, things of use, that is only known to them. Most tend to stick to the wilderness, as there have been few reports that the Spiderlings, enjoy
While these Spiderlings are often mistaken for driders, overgrown arachnids or a monstrous humanoid. Most of them live in fear of us, as we are of them. There have been very few but rare cases where these creatures try to integrate back into humanoid society. Its not uncommon, when they would try to do this by becoming merchants, craftsman or other useful artisans. They are also known as Web Artisans if they succeed upon their integration.
Signs of Friendship
A Spiderling have been known to shown signs of friendship through crafting for their friends, as it is a sign of respect for them. If impressed & maybe after a long friendship they would normally teach their friend their ways of weaving. As sometimes this involves the creature becoming a Spiderling themselves. Nothing is wrong with this, as most people would want it not. But to truly understand how the Spiderling weaves, you must become the Spiderling.
Arachne Traits

The Spiderling tends to get along with other arachnids & creatures with arachnid-like bodies or those who live in the Underdark. Its rather common oddly enough. As the Duergar who own a arachnid like mule called a steeder tend to come to them for help understand their own arachne-like creatures.
The Spiderling, like every other Arachne species can speak with spider, as if they had a language.
This is called Web-Speech. As only the Arachnids, the Driders, Arachne and other variation of these creatures know this, that are 8 legged, maybe.
